How will you survive "Tawhirimatea Desert Island"...
On February 3 we found ourselves stranded on the Tawhirimatea Desert Island! We can only bring one object each that means something to us to help us survive the rough terrain, extreme weather and tough times! It takes grit and determination to survive this desert island! How will we do it...Here are some photos from our survival stories...
The titles from our stories are:
- E waka eke noa - We're all in this waka together!
- We've got the power!
- Could it get any worse?
- We will survive!
- Fire for life - where there's smoke there's fire!
- Lost our way!
- There's more than one way to scale a fish...
- Weirdest time of our lives!
I wonder if 2021 will truely reflect these titles and the navigation of this Tawhrimatea Desert!
How will you survive? Which Title best describes you?
Hi From Ruaumoko . We hope that you will be able to help us! Dont float away!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like these 2 statements... E waka eke noa - We're all in this waka together! We've got the power!
Which values are going to help you on your island. We love showing Kia manawanui in Ruaumoko. Kindness goes a long way. Great photos! If your island getting towards Makaraka land can you come and visit us please.
Thanks Room Ruaumoko! We love your blog too! Especially using the school library!

DeleteHi Mrs Hall I really enjoyed making our stories and acting them out.
ReplyDeleteI think this will help me to get better at thinking on the spot and working with other people that i don't know very well. Maybe we could do some more acting in the future? Thank you
Kia Ora koka Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed drawing the pictures in the artwork we made, my favourite drawing was the bit when we drew the hutt on the picture.
Tawhirimatea desert island represents that it can get hard sometimes through the year but at times we can always figure out a way to get through it.
The object I took to the island was a pair of my favourite running shoes because I really like to go on runs and they are always a lot of fun.
By Max Hindmarsh P.S. This activity was a lot of fun!
kia ora i really enjoyed how we got to draw awer groups pitcher and diy it too.
ReplyDeletei loved how this made me think like it was a real sitsawashin in life ka kete.
next time i would like to have more things that we could take more stuff.
Kia Ora Koka,
ReplyDeleteThis was great activity because I was growing my mind how to survive on Tawhirimatea.
My favorite part was acting out with my group and doing it together so the class knew what we are doing.
Next time can we video so other people and me see what my group did please, My object that I brought with me was a Mic that we used for a signal for Help.
Kia ora Koka! This activity i really enjoyed because it involved freeze frames and coloring "yay" My favorite part was when we did our desert island,because we draw an imaginary tawhirimatea! (I loved mine) Next time i would like you to video things like this because it was fun! Keep up the good work koka!
ReplyDeleteKia Ora Koka,
ReplyDeleteThis was a great activity because we worked as a group and we got to try dying instead of painting and colouring in. I loved how this made me think about what the tawhirimatea desert would look like and what would be on it. Next time i would like to video our survival stories so that we could see more of what our actions looked like!

Hello Mrs hall,
ReplyDeletethis was a really cool activity because we all enjoyed practicing living on the desert island.My favourite part was performing our play to the class.The object I took to the island was my puppy fizzy,because he's got a great nose for smelling.
Kia Ora Koka Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed perfoming our play and watching other peoples ones. I think that it was meant to be a metaphor for the Tawririmatea class. Next time I would like it videoed so that I can look back and watch it again. My item that I bought was the first book that I ever got. My dad got for me in Australia.

ReplyDeleteKia Ora Koka Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed being able to create a skit in a group and perform it to the class. This will help me with the year ahead by showing me how hard it will be to survive being year six in Tawhirimatea. My groups title was weirdest time of our lives it means that were had never experienced it before and we learnt something new on Tawhirimatea. My object was my guitar because it calms me down and music is my passion it was useful because we used the strings for a fishing line.

ReplyDeleteI would like if you could video it next time you do it.
Kia ora koka, I really enjoyed this activate because we had to work as a team and we could tell a creative story witch was fun. My favorite part was when we were dying because when one person had made a mistake no one in our group would argue we would just fix the mistake. Next time I would like to just get on with it instead of talking to someone else.

kia ora koka,
ReplyDeleteThis was a great activity because it made all the groups think together.
I loved how this made me think about what it would be like to live in a desert island. My groups title was WE GOT THE POWER,we got that title because we made a power line out of sticks and a zipper from a jacket.
Kia Koka Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed asking why they were only allowed to use 1 object that would of made it very interesting.
My favourite part was the ff because they would had to make sense on what they were doing.Next time I Would like to see a video so we could see the whoa thing.
Kia ora koka,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed working as a team and finding ways to solve a problem with the team.
The tawhirimatea desert island helps with getting along with people / Friends that you didn't before.
Next time can you add a video so it helps me and others understand what we did more and so we can watch it.
kia ora koka,this was a amazing activity because at the end we all got to sit down see what everyone was doing and because we all worked together to make these awesome plays and freeze frames,this will help along the years that are coming ahead of me because there's going to be easy moments and not so easy moments it's like being on the island of Tawhirimatea easy and hard days and nights, I would love to do this again sometime, my groups title was THERE IS MORE THAN WAY TO SCALE A FISH it means there's more than one way to survive on the island tawhirimatea and there more than one way to live your life.
ReplyDeletekia ora koka.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed working with my team and practising my play with them.
Our team worked well together and listened well to each other. It was fun. It was faster and easier because everyone could be included.
In Tawhirimatea I have noticed that time goes fast when I do the mahi and don't get distracted.
Mrs Hall do you think we could video the play so I can remember my words?.
kia ora koka michelle
ReplyDeleteThis was a fantastic activity because it made me think lots and it was really fun to draw our own imaginary island called tawhirimatea.
This activity will get me through the year ahead of me because I am a senior and the leader of the school and it is hard to be the leader of the school.
Next time I would like to video it as well as have a photo because if we have a video I can understand it better
kia ora koka i really enjoyed the part when we all got use our imagination and think creative.
ReplyDeleteI loved how this made me think about how me and my group where going to survive in the tawhirimatea desert island.
Maybe next time you could add a short video in so more people could understand what we did and listening to us talking about how will survive.
kia ora koka, next time I would like it to be videoed
ReplyDeletemy favourite part was when I want to go and get the camel
this was a great activity because we had to work together
