Evaluate - Reflection/Questions
Has this had the desired impact on our children? Is there a greater awareness of the impact of litter in our environment? Did children feel empowered in what they were doing?	Engagement was high A number of activities helped to keep children focused and on task Greater cohesion between members of the hapu as they now know each other Older children were supporting and guiding the young children Giving children the ‘role’ of enviro superheroes helped to empower them towards our common goal of cleaning our local park and school. Next step Possibly a greater focus on the in and outs of recycling. Why can some things be recycled and others can’t? Also, more of a futuristic approach. If we keep on doing what we are doing what might the world look like in fifty years? A trip to the Christchurch Recycling Plant

Work Shops For Kākano Children

On Thursday children planned a lesson to teach the younger children.  They had to choose something they were passionate about and map out how they were going to go about teaching the concept with a warm up activity, beginning, middle and end.

The Kākano Children then had the opportunity to choose a workshop that interested them. There were many different choices for example, Samoan and Tongan language, Te Reo Māori,  soccer skills, how to play four square, making puppets to represent characters in a book, using Stop Motion, spelling and so on.

After the workshops Koru 2 had to reflect on what went well, not well and what they would change next time.

Walking In Someone Else's Shoes

   Walking in someone else’s shoes

What would you feel like if you had shoes that had five or even seven

holes in them? How would you feel? I no how I would feel if I had

holes in my shoes. I’d feel incredibly cold , extremely humiliated and

also very sick because my feet were so FREEZING cold!

I bet if I lived there I’d walk instead of paying for petrol and save up

my money. I’d do this to get every person that lived there lots of food,

water, and medison as well as new shoes of course! That is what I’d

do for them.

If you're reading this right now don’t accuse these people of being no

good just because of what they look like or what they don’t have.

The most important thing is what they do and how they treat this

world. The negative things people say about them is not fair. Just

remember what you would feel if every day you struggled to survive.

Walking in someone else’s shoes          

By looking at this person’s  shoes I noticed that they didn't have a good life.

I imagined that he had to use uncomfortable materials for clothing and

probably didn’t have much food so he had to go without a lot of stuff.

Just so you know you should never judge someone without knowing the

whole story. You may think you know, but by doing this you are judging

someone. Not good!   Always think about others and make the lives of

other people better. There are little children that need food, school and

a home. There’s also some children like us that have horrible diseases

that they could die from.

Many of us are not helping or donating to make other people healthy are

we? We need to look at our world carefully and to take a walk in someone

else’s shoes and help change their life.

I think the problem is our responsibility clearly. We’re not good enough to

be open minded about others. Hopefully this will change after you take

a trip into their life. This  brings me back to the point where people should

walk in another person’s shoes. Some people are even taking from them.

I do not think this is okay. They are probably living in cold broken houses

with air coming in and no warm balnkets. if you were them your life would

be miserable. Imagine!

Remember before opening your mouth to say something nasty about

another person walk a mile in their shoes because one step in a stranger’s

shoes is all it takes to learn a lot that you never knew.

Thanks for reading or listening!!!!!!! =)

Designing a Game

                                                    Physical Education

Koru 2 children had to design games that would appeal to children at school. They had to include a name, equipment, instructions both in pictures and words and to cover any safety issues that may be a factor in their game. 

Finally they had to teach their games to other students. At the end of the game the children that played gave the children that designed the game feedback. The children that designed the game had to give the participants feedback on how well they went.

Playing our games.

 Sample of plans.

Achievement Objective People and the environment•- Plan and implement a programme to enhance an identified social or physical aspect of their classroom or school environment.
