This weeks challenge is to build a bridge. Read the tohutohu (instructions) carefully and then enjoy making your bridge. If you are building your bridge at kāinga (home), remember to me a video by Rāmere (Friday).

Whakawhetai-Gratitude

 This week we have been learning about gratitude and the ways in which we can show it. We started of by making a list of 20 things we are grateful for. We listed things like food, shelter, family, friends, clothes etc.

We had a kōrero about the special people in our lives and why we are grateful for them. Then the akonga (students) had to make a choice, make a card or write a letter to their special someone. We decided to make Thank you cards for those people, expressing our gratitude to them. In our cards we expressed why we are thankful and how it makes us feel.   

        

       

What or who are you grateful for? If you care to share, write it in a comment!
