Term 3 Seasonal Topic Indigenous Performing Arts - This term we completed 3 winter adventure cycles doing Kapa Haka practice to emphasize moving from “cooperation” to “trust building” from put ups and put downs, hidden agendas, active listening, mixing and perspective taking into highlighting making mistakes, empathy, trustworthiness, risk taking, physical vs emotional trust. The activities with the kapa haka practice built from male female switch to intonation to meaning and were designed to emphasize creating a community, cooperation, and communication. Students know this behavior as 2nd Grade “Play Kind, Play Gentle, Play Safe” and 3rd Grade “Playing Hard”, “Playing Fair” and “Playing Safe”. We experimented with taking challenges through healthy risks like performing the haka Whai Ake Te Matauranga (Pursue Knowledge) about the power of many languages and being crew not passengers as well as E Ko Te Tui (The Tui bird sings) and Tane Mahuta (Guardian of the Forests) about taking a stand for indigenous and heritage language revitalization. Students practiced two strategies for encouraging language: “Put Ups” and “Kind, specific, helpful feedback”.
