Whanau class 2016

I have the whanau class yr 7/8 this term. After 1 lesson I can see that they respond to standard games quite differently from the much larger yr 7 or yr 8 class. The class is mainly girls, 16, and 3 boys. The year 8 girls- Michelle, Raven show leadership potential.

This morning I am spending time with the class in  their home room with Whia Jo. They started with kapa haka practise as they are leading the waitia in hui tomorrow. They were focused and serious about using the correct techniques and raised their energy level and commitment when Whia Jo asked. Transitioned quietly to writing.

I have resources on kapa haka and Maori plays- maybe too adult for them? [scripts and dvd].
Kete- moving into kaitiakitanga.

Look up notes from Drama NZ conference- living tukutuku panels
