Term 1 Week 7: Whakamātautau The Week of Testing

Tena koutou katoa!


Akomanga 16 has a very busy week of learning and testing our reading, writing and math's skills. We had a really engaging and exciting pūtaiao lessons where we made tube tornados.

Also we have all been discussing and working on one of our New Windsor Way learner profiles Manawaroa (resilience). We have done this by not giving up when we find our work a challenge and when we do our karakia or kōrero. The students learn't about Tane and he showed resilience when he split his parents Ranginui and Papatuanuku by being fearless, tough and he didn't give up when it got hard.  The tauira are developing mahi tahi (collaboration) in all areas of our school work.

This week we finished off our self portraits, which have developed in great pieces of students self perception. The students also really enjoy doing just dance for fitness time.

In week 9 we have parent student goal setting meetings, so we have been setting goals visually.

  1. Ka pai to mahi Ruma 16!
    I am very impressed by your learning this week. I really liked hearing how Tane showed resilience. I would love to hear your thoughts on that. Is there any other atua that shows resilience?
