Aroha

Sharing, taking turns, supporting others and realising that other people may have different ideas but that is okay.

He aroha whakatō, he aroha puta mai.

If kindness is sown, then kindness shall be received.

We will achieve this by:

Using our Ts and Ps (thank you and please)
Using kind words, giving compliments and put ups
Respect other people’s property by being careful with it
Keep hands and feet to ourselves
Help others out when they need a hand
Take turns when using equipment or playing or helping each other
Ask if you can borrow something first and return items you borrow straight away and don’t damage or lose them
If someone has a different opinion about something, that is ok, stay calm and listen to them, they are allowed to be different
Treat people with respect and you will receive respect in return
Walk away when you are getting frustrated, using our ignoring muscles, use your words

Success Indicators:

We would feel respected, happy and great!
We would feel grateful, appreciative and proud (mana)
We would be filling each others’ buckets
Other people will want to share their equipment with us, we will be a trusted person
We will be friendly and happy to have supportive friends around us
Our friends and adults will be proud of the positive choices we have made
Our problem(s) will get smaller

Get out your MANA book, a pen or a pencil, a ruler (you may have to borrow one) and be ready to go!

Learn:

We will get our brains going each morning with warm ups.
We will learn a karakia to start a day or a meeting/hui.
We will practice maths and literacy a little bit each day until we remember them all!

1 Daily Starts and Karakia Term 1 2022

We are learning to:

Identify the key points in non-fiction articles
Summarise the key points in our own words in the correct order
Locate and summarise ideas by skimming or scanning, by identifying key words, topic sentences and key questions, or by using subheadings
Identify parts of a newspaper article (like headline, byline)

Create:

Pick the correct day and go into the slide deck
Choose your article - what type? It is is in the name of the link :-)
Write up your key points and summarise
Who is your audience? Remember, they have not read this article and need to know all the key points about what happened.
If you need a reminder as to how to make a link for your headline, watch the video to the left.

1. Read through someone else's Kiwi Kids News (NOT the same article), and the article they read.

Narratives - Story Telling - Kōrero Paki

Watch these videos.

Narratives have characters and a setting.

They are fiction - made up stories - but can be based on real life things that happen - like Quaky Cat.

Narratives have a beginning, some sort of problem that occurs, the fixing of the problem and then an ending where it all comes together - for good or bad!

These stories all show the characters starting out, having an issue (or more than one) and then figuring it all out at the end.
