Rangatiratanga

We are learning about Rangatiratanga (Leadership and initative).

This is what we think Rangatiratanga is...

• Helping new kids –showing them what to do and where things are
• Doing something without being asked
• Helping
• Solving problems for ourselves… thinking
• Leading by example… showing by doing
• It is not being a bossy boots

Rangatiratanga (Leadership and Initiative) - it is all about thinking and making some choices for ourselves. 

We need to think for ourselves!!

My Reflection

I show rangatiratanga in the playground by: I let little kids play with me

I show rangatiratanga in the classroom when: I do my I time card by myself

It was really hard when: I have to share games and don't want to.

Kerri Thinks

You follow your i-time card during reading and maths and this is a great way to show rangatiratanga (you are leading by example because you are doing the right thing). Your next step is to set up your i-time card by yourself - I know you can do it!
What a great friend you are Isaac, you include everybody in your games! It can be tricky to share the trains and other games but when you share and play together with your friends it is much more fun for everybody!

Excellence

We are learning all about Panekiretanga (excellence) as our value this term. We can show excellence in our learning and in our play. We can show excellence at school and at home... we can show excellence anywhere!

We think excellence is:

• Giving it your your best shot and never giving up
• If you don’t succeed, try and try again
• Keep on practising
• Do some thinking, then ask for help when you don’t know what to do
• We all have our own excellence, and it can be different for different things

• We need to encourage others – we show excellence in the way we talk.
• We use our manners and share, including other people in our games – we show excellence in our play

WALT: show Panekiretanga (excellence) in our learning. 

Task

Show excellence in the classroom:

1. Using the discovery equipment explore, experiment and try something new. 



We love to try all the discovery activities and work
together to play collaboratively.

2. During buddy time work as a team to complete the T-shirt collage with no gaps, thumb size pieces of paper.

   

   High 5 and Ci7cus learning together

3. Use your i-time card and follow during maths. Give every activity your best shot and don't give up!

We practise our learning with the teacher and by ourselves.
We never give up!

Remember to show excellence by encouraging and including others and trying your very best.

Success Criteria:

• I tried my very best
• I kept on practising even when it was tricky
• I encouraged others (excellence in my talk)
• I used my manners, shared and I included other people in my games (excellence in my play)

Reflection

I really like: trying really hard even when I'm tired

I think I need to practice: trying a bit harder with my maths

Something that really helped me was: trying really hard to get an excellence tick.

Kerri thinks
What an excellent learner Isaac! You have thought about what excellence is and how you show it in your learning.
You try very hard and I know you love to get an excellence tick. It is tricky to keep on going when you are tired and I am pleased that you like the challenge. Keep it up!

Whakawhanaungatanga - Buddy class

We have been learning all about whakawhanaungatanga and what it means. We think it is all about getting along better, including everybody and being in a team.

When we are showing Whakawhanaungatanga we will :

 
See:  people sharing and noticing other people

Hear:  kind words, encouraging words like "ka pai", "good job”, “can I help?"

Think about: about other people, listen and share.

Task: Listen to your buddy and learn some things about them. Work together to create a poster sharing what you have learned about each other. Remember to practise using encouraging words, to share ideas and to notice how you your buddy might be feeling. 

 Success Criteria:     

• I used kind words.
• I listened to my buddy and found out something new.
• I shared my ideas with my buddy.
• I show whakawhanaungatanga in and out of the playground.

Reflection

I used kind words.

I listened to my buddy and found out something new.

I shared my ideas with my buddy.

I show whakawhanaungatanga in and out of the playground.

I show whakawhanaungatanga when: When I play in the sandpit and share my shovel and bucket.

It was hard when:  People take my bucket and shovel and didn't ask me.

I really liked: Playing with my friends because they are kind to me.

Kerri Thinks

Isaac, you use kind words when you talk to your friends and classmates. I love that you share your shovel and bucket when you play in the sandpit, that is showing hakawhanaungatanga. 
Remember to listen to your buddy, and your friends. This will help you to learn new things about your buddy.
