Earning It !

Whanaugatanga Badge 

So today we had an Duffy assembly! During our Duffy assembly my principal was talking about what Whanaugatanga means and what our school did yesterday for Tuakana Teina. There was 1 person that was outstanding yesterday during Tuakana Teina and they were showing a lot of Whanaugatanga. I didn't know who it was but I was thinking it might have been someone that wasn't in our year 8 class. "This badge is awarded to Lavinia. F" when I heard my name I stood up in shock. I have never gotten a badge before but during that moment I was really proud of myself. I walked up to get my badge and I had a big smile on  my face. After I got my badge I got a voucher, it was a $20 gift card and a ticket for mini golf around the world. I was really lucky because all my friend wanted it. hahaha! But it was still worth it. After school I showed my mum and she was really really proud of me, she smiled at me and hugged me and I gave her my voucher and today, I think was the best day! Thankyou to Ms. Barlow for being a good teacher for Tuakana Teina yesterday also to the BEST year 8 teacher Ms. Aireen ! 

Thankyou for Reading!

Tuakana Teina Day - Lavinia & Htoo Say Wah

Sorry guys but here is another delayed post from yesterday. So yesterday our whole school had Tuakana Teina Day! Our buddies for Tuakana Teina was Room 1, my buddy was Htoo Say Wah! It was a really good day yesterday because we did fun activities with our buddies but the best thing me and my buddy enjoyed about yesterday was that in the first block before the bell went we got to make healthy sandwiches it was really YUM! And our other favorite part of the day was when when at the last block the little kids got to do bike riding around our bike track and the year 8's got to play touch on the field. I enjoyed every single hour, minute and second of yesterday! 

Netball Investigation - Inquiry

Hey Readers,

On the last few weeks we had got given a task relating to our topic Peaceful Play. We had to pick a game/sport and investigate it with your buddies or in groups. We got into 3 groups plus me (4) and we investigated Netball. We wanted to Investigate Netball because we wanted to know more information about it and what was it like in the olden days. Today we presented our Inquiry Investigation (Netball Investigation) and we Achieved it to the standards expected ! We were the only group that Achieved it to the standards because a lot of other groups were talking a lot about the game but we had to talk about the difference now and back then. I was proud of myself and my group when we heard that we achieved it! 

Thankyou.

Tuakana Teina - In and Out!

Sorry guys! This is a delayed post from last week but I just wanted to share what we did with our Tuakana Teina buddies with Room 1 and Room 2. Last week on Wednesday me and my class practiced peaceful play with the little ones. We had to make up a game and show our little ones how to play it our game is called "In and Out". If you want take a look at our Tuakana Teina session with the little ones take a look at our D.L.O (Digital, Learning, Object) that me and my 2 buddies Maopa and Layquitah have done.
