hauroa infograhic

 LI: To create a infographics that explains Hauro as an athlete

Hauro is the Maori belif of mental and physical well being. This infographic explains tha Hauroa means and what the four walls are through the eyes of an olympic athlete. What if all four walls of an athlete were not supported and are not standing or what if all walls of the athlete were standing how would this affect the athlete. If all walls were standing then the olympic athlete knows how to win and lose and is able to learn from loses and also celebrate victories having this information as an athlete will help them mentaly and also physicaly. 

I enjoyed this activity becuase it made us think from the athletes perspective and think about how they would feel.

Hauora and Olympians

 

Athletes train in both areas, mentally and physically. This is because  both areas need to be stable and balanced. An athlete should have all walls of the Whare Tapa Wha standing, meaning that they are motivated, confident and have self belief. Without these walls standing, or even if one wall falls, athletes will lose their motivation, feel insecure and have low self esteem. As an athlete, being successful is a huge accomplishment. With being an athlete, they need to accept and embrace the unsuccessful times. If an athlete is unsuccessful, they continue to train and are grateful for the opportunity of representing their country. The support of friends and family pushes athletes to become the best they can and lead them to victory.

LI:today we were writng about the acceptable uniform.

Today for PB4L my group has wrote the acceptable uniform. First, we looked at what we should wear and not wear in our school uniform. Next we looked at what accessories we accept at school like religious items like necklaces, or anklets, and more. Then we looked at the formal situation that showed what we should only wear and not wear in assembly, prize giving, Manaiakalani Film Festival, etc. Lastly we created of an image for the girls uniform, and what girls should wear. 

Resource Requisition | Inquiry

  All natural disasters start from bad weather. The materials that are suitable against a volcano eruption are: steel door, chicken wire, aluminum sheets, and concrete walls.

The steel door was to get in and out of the shelter when a natural disaster starts or finishes. This material has been chosen because steel is strong. 

The concrete walls are out for the base of the shelter and the roof.  This material has been  chosen to protect against lava because it provides a strong foundation for an emergency shelter. 

The aluminum was used for the inside layer to stop lava from coming in.  This material was chosen because aluminum is strong. 

The chicken wire was used to hold the shelter together and extra protection against lava. 

This material has been chosen to protect against volcanic eruptions because it can give the structure more protection and strength against lava.

 Lots of materials can help protect against different types of natural disasters.  

Risk Assessment

 LI.to assess consequences.

I learnt to rate the list of situations. As a group we looked at five different risk definitions. The five risk definitions

are low, likely, possible, elevated, and extreme.

First we read the situation. Then we had to figure out what rating. we would gi up to  five One is low risk and five is

extreme risk. 

Next we wrote the consequences for each situation. This means we listed everything that could’ve happened. 

Then we came up with different types of situations. We made three situations for the five different risks ratings. 

I learned that everything has a risk.
