Maori Language Week

 We have been learning how to greet in maori, ask what the other person's name is as well as ask how the other person is feeling, including saying goodbye. We used Storyboard to create our cartoon characters.

Change the things you can and accept the things you cannot change

 

Today we had our Bounce Back programme and we learned that you can change things in your life for the better.  Things that are done are  done and can't be undone. What it means is that if someone says something mean and you start a fight but then after a while you go apologize and that person apologize back then its done and cannot be undone. Do your best to keep trying to solve problems and change things you don't like in your life. Sometimes you can't change a situation because it is not within your control. There is no point in getting upset over what you can't change as it won't make any difference to the situation.  

 Today Mr. Naidoo told us to do our Pepeha and this is mine.

Who's to Blame?

 

Today we had Bounce back and Michelle was talking about blaming yourself or other people

or just equally blaming each other. The first task we had to do was to tell Michelle how we felt in lockdown. 

The next task she told a story about a boy that stole his sisters phone without permission,

then she said," He left the phone in his bag in his class and someone stole it". Then 

Michelle gave us another task. The task was to circle the sentence you think is

right for the question.

Before we got into the task Michelle told us to get into groups and disgust what you think 

is best for the question. Before you could even start the task you had to read the story before

you can answer the question but it was not really like a question but the same. 

There were four stories and all of the stories reflect on blaming yourself or others and how big 

was your bad luck.

She told another story after the task the story was about 2 friends that played basketball

and they were in the semi finals but they lost by 1 point, but 1 friend got angry because 

the other players showed up late and didn't play well. But the other friend was happy but

two players came late and their super star was sick.

Don't blame anyone because you might blame the wrong person and the 

person that done it got away. How would you feel?
