P.B.S Whakatauki

What is whakatauki? That was the only question going around my head. A whakatauki is a form of Maori poetry passed down by previous generations. At Panmure Bridge School our whakatauki is manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua. It means care for the land, care for the people, go forward. This means care for the land our school was founded upon, care and respect the learners around you, and be confident in yourself to strive for excellence. On my DLO it talks about our whakatauki, and our school values which are C.A.R.E. 

The Pathway

For the first week of reading with Mrs Anderson we are learning about the treaty of Waitangi. The treaty of Waiting is an agreement between the Maori and the English. During the 1700's - 1800's the British were the superpower of the world. They have colonised many countries that are now independent. The British used to buy land for things as little as a pound. A pound was useless in New Zealand because they did not use cash. British settlement had a huge impact on New Zealand. British people weren't respecting the culture and laws the Maori's put in place. The book we read was a timeline that lead up to the treaty of Waitangi.

Morning Routine

Morning Routine

Do you know what my morning routine is? Well let me tell what I do in my morning routine. My routine is very simple but it is not like most people.

Firstly I wake up really early like 5:00 in the morning then I go to the bathroom wash my face then I go back to my room and see what is on my feed on Instagram then play songs while playing play station with my friends.

When the time is 6:30 I get off my play station and I put some cold water into the jug. After filling the jug up . When the jug has finished boiling I make myself a Milo and have weet bix or cereal for breakfast.

After breakfast I go in the shower. After my shower I get changed into my school uniform then go back to the bathroom brush my teeth and do my hair. Then I put cream on my legs, face and arms.

As you can see my morning routine is very simple but it can be hard sometimes.
