Hauora

For the past 4 weeks, we've been doing Hauora for the topic of our Kete, We have to make a DLO for the year 6's, I wasn't at school yesterday so I didn't know about this whole DLO thing but I caught up and finished my DLO today, I made it using Powtoon and I liked how it turned out.  I also included its four dimensions and how I take care of it and how I can improve it. I also wrote down my reflection.

Need Some Milk? I mean, Need Help?

Do need help? Well, this is the blog post for ya😉! Since our hauora topic started in our kete, our teachers told us to make a DLO about our wellbeing AKA hauora.  I partnered up with Rieya, like always, we put the helplines phone numbers, some information and also some tips, we made our slide as fun as we could and as colourful as we could, we really hope that you like it. Have a nice day!

Filipino Culture

Yesterday, the Filipino students in 7AL showed a presentation about the Philippines.  Axle and I were the host,  My speech is about greetings in Filipino, after I did my speech, we had to do the Philippine National Dance.  It was "Tinikling" though it was recently changed to "Cariñosa", Rieya was in charge of the music.  After the dance Vann and Lars explained the Filipino game. The games were Luksong Baka, Luksong Tinik, and Tumbang Preso.  It all went well because everyone had fun, what a relief!.  Here are some pictures..

Luksong Baka is a Traditional Filipino game where you jump over person that is called "Baka". (Baka means cow) Well of course you can't touch the baka, if you touch the baka, you're taking the "it" place, in other words you're going to be the baka.  If you get to level three or four, you're gonna have to use your hands to touch the baka's back and jump.  It's like high jump.

Tumbang Preso is a game where you hit a can or a bottle (called lata in the Philippines) with a jandlas or tsinelas (tsinelas means slippers or jandals in Tagalod or Philippines).  You can search it up in Google.

Unfortunally, there's no picture of us playing Luksong Tinik but that's alright.  

Luksong Tinik is like Luksong Baka but instead of jumping over a person or baka you jump over a hand like this...

National Anthem of New Zealand Research Team

Jaz, Kody and I have been working hard for this research, it turned to a success, I'm proud of my team.

They're really nice to work with.  We searched the history behind the national anthem of New Zealand.  "Why we have a national anthem?", "who wrote God Defend New Zealand and who set the music", "what was the New Zealand's national anthem before God Defend New Zealand" and "when was the national anthem made?".

We really worked hard on this and we are looking forward for your comment! :)
