Abstract Art Roll a Dice

 Akomanga 16 created some lovely abstract art using this Roll-a-Dice challenge. Have a go yourself, what does your abstract art look like? 

Let's Get Physical

After Tomo shared her story about her daily run with her daughter, Akomanga 16 learners were invited to share some of the ways they have been staying active during lockdown. 

Being active and getting outside in the sunshine is so important for our hauora. 

We also had a zoom meeting to catch up with each other. Connection and relationships are another way we can look after our hauora. 

I am grateful

 This week Akonmanga 16 did a Gratitude Scavenger Hunt. We had to find:

Something that is useful.

Something that is your favourite colour.

Something that makes you happy.

Something that makes you feel safe.

Something that makes a beautiful sound.

Something that makes you laugh.

A place that you love.

Something you are grateful for.

Something that you enjoy looking at. 

There are so many things that we found to be grateful for:

Running with Tomo and Sunny

 Here's a story that Tomo shared about her daily run with her daughter. I hope you like it. Maybe you could make a book with some physical activities that you do each day to keep healthy? 

Emotion Selfies

 As part of our focus on Hauora this week I invited learners to share a selfie (or five) of how they looked when they felt different emotions. Recognising emotions in ourselves and others gives us better understanding and empathy for each other and ourselves. 

Whare Tapa Wha

 Our focus for this weeks online learning is Hauora. One of our activities on Seesaw was Whare Tapa Wha. Whare Tapa Wha is a way of thinking about our Haurora (wellbeing) and how all areas of our life influence our hauora. Learners had to think about the four walls of Whare Tapa Wha and how they could look after these areas of their hauora. They took photos that represented each of the four walls and taha whenua. 

Their responses and ideas about what supports their hauora were well thought out and showed how well they understand what helps to keep them healthy in all areas of their lives.
