My culture!

 Following on from last week, today we wrote about our cultures and made a poster to show important things of our culture and our country. 

Here are some of Room 6 making their posters

We then presented them and hung them in our classroom for everybody to see!

It is important that we know about our culture as it influences so much of our lives. We are learning about our school values, Manakitanga, Whanaunatanga, Ako, Rangimarie and Tukumarie. By doing this activity, we learnt about each others cultures and so we learnt to show respect to each other, and be tolerant of each others differences. 

Filling our buckets!

Today Miss Ashley shared with us this video - 

We talked about how we can fill each others buckets and what things dip into other peoples buckets. We referred to yesterday, as we had a huge variety of positive/negative interactions and talked about wether this will fill up or dip into other peoples buckets. 

What a great day we had! 
All of Room 6 was able to tell Miss Ashley things they had done to fill up other peoples buckets at different points throughout the day. 

This is a good way to -

• remind us that how we act impacts others
• make us think about what we say and do
• build positive relationships with our classmates by saying positive things
• encouraging us to help each other
• visualise our school values
• remind us that the off hand comments we might say do have a negative impact on others

Awesome work Room 6! 

You are working very hard to build positive relationships and care for each other.
