Term 4:
Level 3 - Mophead
Using Mophead, the book of Selina Tusitala Marsh, Aotearoa’s first Pacific Island Poet Laureate, this unit examines self-image, discrimination and diversity. Ākonga will consider the impact teasing, bullying and racism have on self-worth, and the role of upstanders and bystanders. The experiences of Selina Tusitala Marsh and the learning that comes from it encourages ākonga to celebrate what makes them unique and develop a stronger sense of self so that they can learn to flourish.

Week 3 Tuesday- My Strengths
Week 3 Resources
Ākonga learn about their identity and each other’s special qualities. They examine feelings, thoughts and actions and identify and develop ways to foster healthy friendships. Working together ākonga create a class kākahu designed to show the ‘hidden’ parts of us all; a cloak that makes us who we are and helps to support and protect us as a classroom of ākonga who have both similarities and differences. Throughout these learning experiences, ākonga will create feathers to be woven into the class kākahu resulting in a shared piece of art to reflect our collective identity.
Ākonga are encouraged to think about their strengths and find others with similar strengths. Ākonga learn to use ‘I statements’ when talking about themselves.
WALT: Talk about our strengths and understand their value for ourselves and others.
Spend time unpacking the words identity and strengths as these are tricky concepts for some ākonga to understand. The conversations teachers have with ākonga while they are working will be meaningful.
