Cultural Diversity Day

World Cultural Diversity Day

World Cultural Diversity Day was a special day that was designed to embrace each other's uniqueness and differences. Like the acrostic poem above, Learn to be a different individual and value each other regardless of our skin colour, talents and years.Ara Tu Whakata has 24 different country's represented.Wednesday 22nd May was a fun day with lots of traditional clothing. Some of the countries were: Sri Lanka, Samoa, America, NZ Maori, Hungary (My Country), Germany, Fiji, Cambodia and Cook Islands (Also My Country). People brought foods from their country. 

                                             This is me:

This was a fun day and hope that Ara Tu Whakata enjoyed learning about other cultures and enjoyed sharing their own culture!

StepsWeb #3

  Seriously StepsWeb Minutes!

Today in Te Ropu Whakamanawa Literacy we did StepsWeb for 20 minutes real time. We have been at school for 3 weeks and Miss Waho has been comparing our Steps Minutes from Week 1 to Week 3, and here is my minutes from the latest check:

The highest score from Te Ropu Whakamanawa Literacy was 312 minutes StepsWeb Time, not real time.  My next step is to do much more minutes and more activities.

Whakamanawa Maori Assessment

 Classroom Objects in Maori Assessment - Whakamanawa

On Monday Whakamanawa did a test of how well we know our objects in our classroom. I did pretty well, but I realized that I mixed 2 up. Other than that, I'm proud as can be!😇

My next step is to learn more difficult Maori objects.
