Kiwi Can | Fun Week | Last Kiwi Can Of the Year

LI: To learn about Respect and Respecting our community.

This week was the last week of Kiwi can this year. This was our fun week. We recapped on what we have been learning this whole term and year. We had three catchphrases. One for school, Our community and our environment. We talked about respecting each other and the area in our community. We also talked about how we could show respect. You could show respect by being kind to others and also showing care. We could show show respect in school by being enthusiastic and help out people in need. We could show respect for our environment by picking up rubbish and putting rubbish in the correct bins so it doesn't make it other peoples jobs harder. We could also not throw rubbish on the ground because they can go in the drains and go to the sea and affect sea life and pollute our water.




Maori | Te Reo Maori

LI: To use your reacearching skills to try an find meanings of Maori language.

We use google maps and maori dictionary to find out what the maori names for the towns or cities in aucklad mean. We had to use them to see where that city is and the english name to the maori name. Also where they are like the north and south island of NZ.
