PAPAKURA HIGH LEARNING

Kia orana, my name Tara,I am a pacific islander coming from the beautiful islands the Cook Islands. I am 13 yrs old and I go to a school named Papakura High School (PHS). There are many different opportunities to get to know others and learn different things. I enjoy spending time with family and friends playing sports and just talking to know more about how they are. I like to think that I am my own person that does things I believe that represents myself and if I have no regrets, I can live life to the fullest.

ICT

The teacher in charge of my learning is Mr Tuhoe. What I have learnt about 3D printing is that you can use a whole bunch of simple shapes to make one awesome MASTER PIECE. We are basing our work on Matariki, the Maori new year. For my project, I have created a turtle using Tinkercad,

Health

Facebook and should it be allowed in schools?

Me: Yes we should have Facebook because some people don’t have a phone and Facebook is a way for family to contact each other.

Parents: No because Facebook is a distraction to others and stops them from doing their work.

Friend: Yes because face book isn't really important when we are at school.

Hauora and well-being

In class we are learning how you need to have 4 different states to show your healthy. The4 different states are Taha Tinana Physical well being, Taha Wairua-Spiritual health, Taha Whanau- social well being, TAHA HINENGARO- MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. together these 4 things create what some people call a Whare because a Whare needs four walls to stand upright and be great to work with. When working with these four things you are not working alone.
Taha Whanau is all about your bonds you have with people, which group of people you connect with or your background.
Taha Wairua is all about how you feel deep down within yourself, about your beliefs and what has shaped you to be how you are now. <iframe src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vQlallI8xIsQjXLLulWeXZNL1GtelKuV94L6qapM-0Khz33RqIXAbV2sLNPJFjCRo2rDokfapN7Ad68/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=10000" frameborder="0" width="480" height="299" allowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
