Day 2

We continued to get to know each other and build relationship with this fun ice breaker activity.

Skills: relationship building, communicating with each other, oral language.

Who Am I?

• Each of us shared a favourite food, place of travel, hobby, sport, book, toy, etc.
• We then recorded the items about us on a Post-It; making sure not to put our name on.
• We put all Post-Its in a bag
• One by one we reached in, grabbed one, & found the person who we thought wrote it.

We had to list as many personality traits/characteristics  about ourselves using single adjectives; and we chose the best five to describe ourselves writing one on each finger of a traced hand.

We got into small groups and discussed each others characteristics and what can make them unique. We had to guess whose hand we had.

We added our name to our hands and decorated them so it was representative of ourself.

As a class we talked about ....

What is a treaty?

We made a list ideas of what we thought a treaty is and why one is important, especially to us as room 20.

It is Waitangi Day on Friday.

What is Waitangi Day?

It is our national Day, the day in which the Maori people and the Government of New Zealand made a written agreement about governance, protection, rights and privileges.

The Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between two groups, the Maori and the government of New Zealand.
