Week 2: Teaching the juniors in Bishop Class

Ola bloggers and welcome back to week two!

Today my class and I worked alongside Bishop class (Year 2/3) as part of a Tuakana/Teina session.

Tuakana means older once that in charge and Teina means the younger once that listen to the older once.

First, we discussed how to be effective Tuakana. I learned that I have to teach the Teina to understand what they are doing. I can do this by talking more so that they can understand better.

The biggest challenge I came across was moving the blocks because I have to tell them where to put it and sometimes they got confused.

Next week I am looking forward to playing the film to see if it's good or great.

This is Dani signing out :-)

Week 2: Dance

We have been learning about a range of cultures and how they differ from each other.  This afternoon we learned about four types of national dance.  Greece - Zorba, New Zealand - Haka, Scotland - Highland fling and Samoa - Sasa.  Each dance had a different beat, different tone and used different parts of your body.  

We asked Miss Fortes is we could try the highland fling.  This is a link to the YouTube tutorial we used which was uploaded by Highland Dance Practice. 

Watch us practice in the video below

Week 2: My Kitchen Rules

Four teams... one recipe... expert hygiene measures and a set of DELECTABLE chocolate chip cookies!

Today, we worked with Killeen class and we had a mini bake off in an effort to produce delicious cookies ready to sell at the Molly Green Festival tomorrow.   Here are some photos of the fun we had!
