4 March - 10 March

He oranga ngākau, he pikinga waiora. 

Positive feelings in your heart will raise your sense of self-worth. 

Kia ora 10C1. 

The focus for this week is to write to make a difference. 

Last week, Coast Whanau went on an interactive day out to Totara Park. 

Write a letter to Mrs Dada, proposing that such whanau day outs should  be more often. 

Think of young minds and teenagers. Relate your reasoning to why experiences like this are more important than ever in Aotearoa today.

PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

We are PLANNING to present a proposal letter to advocate for school actions to support teenage wellbeing by:

• applying correct letter writing conventions to achieve formality and seriousness
• constructing ideas that show critical thinking of the community/ world we live in
• justifying our ideas with relevant research, knowledge and experiences

Success Criteria:

• Have I  applied correct letter writing conventions to achieve formality and seriousness?
• Have I constructed ideas that show critical thinking of the community/ world we live in?
• Have  I justified my ideas with relevant research, knowledge and experiences?
  
  

When planning and writing:

• Think about letter writing skills you learnt last year. Use them!
• Use correct letter writing format
• Your aim is to convince Mrs Dada, so, make sure to include strong ideas and details. Support with research-based facts and examples. 
• Think of young minds and teenagers. Relate your reasoning to why experiences like this are more important than ever in Aotearoa today. Back up ideas with effective reasoning and relevance to teenagers of Aotearoa.
• Make effective links to our context - In Aotearoa, we take risks and face challenges.
• Mrs Dada likes whakatauki (Maori proverbs), since they are full of deep meaning and values. Can you include a relevant whakatauki to strengthen  your point of view?
