Me and My Culture
WALT: To be ourselves and respect others in a manner that is good.
Today the year 7 and 8 students from room 9 and 10 had a session with Petia Wilson and Leah Tuia. We were there to talk about respecting others and to be ourselves. Petia and Leah split us into our ethnicity cultural groups, Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island, Niuean, Maori and African.
Each group was given a sheet of paper, we all had to fill in the boxes. When the time was up each group had to present their ideas through action or song. First, Samuel from Africa presented his ideas, then it was the Niuean group who did it. Niue did a traditional haka. Next was my country Samoa, I lead our traditional haka called Siva Tau. After that it was the group from the Cook Islands. Finally it was the turn of the Tongans who sang a traditional song.
Last but not the least was Tangata Whenua Maori who did the pukana. Pitea drew a picture of a super hero to finish the session.
