Sustainability Term 1:

During this term, the Year Nine's have been focusing on the sustainability 6-7 projects. My group, NeProLeOn V.2 decided to work on the sustainability of the Rain Garden. We wanted to clean out the Rain Garden and make the rain garden contain good plants. They have been poorly treated.However, the topics for the other sustainability projects were: Housing, Turbidity of the Omaru Creek, Protecting our Culture & Identity, Healthy foods, and Public places. Overall, I liked all of the school's project because it represents different areas of our environment but also because it also a variety of projects that are not the same thing. 

My Own Well-Being Model

For the few weeks of Term 1, we have been learning about Hauora and Fono Fale ( Which are both similar in its own respectful way). After creating a DLO for both. We were tasked to create our own well-being model. For this task, I created my own definition for my model because I didn't want the viewer to be lost in translation. The Wellbeing model is modeled to represent the world and its languages being together to create the earth.

He Korowai Haapori- Ruapotaka Marae

Hi,
During the middle periods of Friday, 9RMz ( My Class!)  were given a warm greeting by Whaea Noelene ( Representing Ruapotaka Marae). Side note: We were also greeted with Glen Taylor's Year 5/6 class. Whaea Noelene was talking about the sustainability of the houses that resided whanau's. She revealed three Korowai which represented time its self. Future,Present and Past. Korowai usually use feathers and represents your ancestry, but the korowai used Houses as a symbol to represent Glen Innes community as a whole. Thank you to Mrs Apelu and Mrs Anderson for organising my class to attend the event.

Health: Fono Fale Model

This term, 9RMz have been mainly focusing on Hauora and its contents. However, Fono-Fale ( Created by Fuimaono Karl-Pulotu Endemann) represents an another version of Hauora. Fono Fale represents: Culture, Family,Physical,Spiritual and other. This model is mainly focused around Polynesian cultures as the creator intended.

Haurora

Hauora (Taha Whanau, Taha Wairua, Taha Hinengaro and Taha Tinana) is represented into a Marae. The Marae has four walls of that representation. If one wall is destroyed then the entire marae is destroyed because the four all relies on each other to stand together. These could be called dimensions. All four have a different meaning to them. 

Taha Tinana: Physical( Tinana, helps out your preparation).

Taha Whanau: Social, Family, and Relationship

Taha Hinengaro: Mental and Emotional

Taha Wairua: Spiritual
