Giving back to the community

At school we have been doing Community PBL and it is going pretty well. It consists of going into small groups after lunch and talking with our classmates about random questions the teachers ask us. We also have topics of people in the community and we had to write a letter to them. My groups topic is parents so we make sure that they all feel safe about their children/child.

What is the most important thing you learned during this project and why?
Collaboration skills because they will help with talking to others.

What do you wish you had spent more time on or done differently?
I wish I had spent more time and helped more with the letter.

What part of the project did you do your best work on and why?
Communicating to my group because it is fun learning about other's interests and hobbies.

What was the least enjoyable part of this project and why?
Writing the letter because I didn't understand what we were doing.

How could we change this project to make it better for next time?
The groups could change to our own groups or have different things to do with our groups.


Have you ever written a letter to the community?

Hanmer Springs

In the first week of the holidays, I went to Hanmer with my family. I had to wake up at 7:00 am and we had to leave home at 8:30 am. It was around 2 hours to get to Hanmer. We arrived at Hanmer Springs at 10:30 am and then I got changed into my swimming togs. My favourite part at Hanmer Springs was when one of the pools had a bucket up high underneath the water slide and when the bucket was fill with water, it would tip upside down and pour over our heads.



After we went to Hanmer Springs, we decided to go to the Animal Park. At the Animal Park, my family and I had lunch. I ate a cheese toastie with ham. I got to pet and feed all the animals like alpacas, llamas, pigs, cows, emus and much more. My favourite animal was the llama because it kept on following me and was so cute. I would love to go again sometime.


What did you do in the holidays?

Reflection on Personal Karakia

My favourite time and place to pray is....
At home and at church, normally at night time.

Most of my prayers are about…...
If someone in my family is sick or if I really want something.


Sometimes I pray for…..
Homeless and natural disasters around the world.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
My favourite karakia is…...
The Our Father prayer.


Prayer in my whanau is …….
Thanking for the food before we eat our dinner.

How often do you pray?
