Azire @ Gilberthorpe School: Matariki

Azire @ Gilberthorpe School: Matariki: Here is Azire's Matariki slide. We have been learning about Matariki and what each of the nine stars mean. I thought I had a firm favourite... until reading Azire's! Now I'm struggling to pick one because she makes them all sound so fantastic!!!

We recapped last week, where we talked about conflict and resolution.

This week we are talking about point of view.

"Problems don't just go away, it all depends on what we say."

For our game, we had to think about something that is unique to us. It has to be true. It might be...

I have three older brothers. 

If anyone else has it, they need to sit down too.

It was really frustrating when someone said "I have a cat" because lots of people had to sit down.

We discussed what we think a point of view is. Different people see things in different ways. One person might have the point of view that they like something... but another person might not like that same thing. We linked it back to when we talked about respecting other people's opinions. It's a lot like that.

We recapped in last week and talked about positive relationships mean.

We played "people to people" and had to connect the body part , with a partner, that was called out... so "elbow to elbow" you touch elbows with your partner. If "people to people is called, you have to find a new partner. 

People to People

We had to use our positive Relationships skills when finding a new partner, particularly with people who we wouldn't normally work with. 

We are talking about keeping each other safe.  It links back to when we learned about listening to others.  When we were talking about what we learned about the community, we remembered about how we need to be safe roading the road, even on a zebra crossing.  

We did an activity, called Raging Rapids, where we had to work as a team to get each other from one side of the room to the other. We were given equipment that we needed to cross with/in.if we fall in, we may be eaten by a shark or crocodile.

Raging Rapids

We had to really work together and talk to each other as we went. Just like last week, we were encouraging each other as we went.
