Everything is Awesome When You're Part of a Team

 

Kia ora home learners,

Today we don't look at one specific person, but at a group of people who, together, made such a difference for others.

One of our local branches:

This is our last part of the Main Lesson People Who MAde A Difference. Go over all your biografies and check that they are complete, including an illustration for everyone.

Did you guess what the project next week will be? Think of a person who made a difference in your life, or that of your whanau. This can be someone fanous, but often making a difference lies in the small things, so it could also be a family member, a neighbour, anyone really.

For example: When my own Dad was 12, he had to leave school because his family couldn't afford to send him to school anymore. A kind man, who was the boss of the office where my Grandmother worked, told her to keep her son in school and he paid for my Dad's education. This meant my Dad could finish High School with a diploma, and that changed not only his own life, but also that of our entire family!

You don't need to write yet about this person, but gather some information, maybe photos, maybe you can interview them or ask your family questions about them. The more information you have got, the more fun you will have with your project!

This being Friday: if you haven't done so yet, get that instrument out and do some more practice. Is your Dragon Maths up to date? Page 35 should be completed by now. If you don't understand parts, put a sticky note in the book and ask me when you return to school.

And... this being Friday- it is Spic'n'Span Day! Fantastic opportunity to give your bedroom a good clean-up and make everything shine. You will have such a relaxing weekend in your tidy and clean space.

I think many of you will be back next week, really looking forward to see you. Ka kite ano!
