Kia ora 7C2,
A warm welcome to Takutai Whanua. My name is Mrs Raeesa Dada and I am you Global Studies teacher for this year.
I hope that you had an awesome holiday break and that you are all excited about your learning in Takutai Whanau.
Learning Intention:
We are learning to :
- understand the meaning of Global Studies.
Success Criteria: I can/have
discuss with my buddy the meaning of Global Studies
So, what is Global Studies?
Most schools refer to Global Studies as the Social Sciences. We will be learning about how societies work and how people can participate as critical, active, informed, and responsible citizens. Our contexts are drawn from the past, present, and future and from places within and beyond New Zealand!
This year we will focus on including Aotearoa NZ's Histories in our teaching and learning.
Weekly Quiz
Every Monday, we will be doing the Weekly Quiz.
Each week the quiz consists of twenty international and New Zealand questions that help us understand the news and the world around them. Questions cover politics, events, issues, discoveries, sport, entertainment, knowledge etc.
Be prepared and listen, watch or read the news throughout the week.
This week, we will be spending some time getting to know each other. You will be designing your Global Studies title page so that it tells me something about you and your life.
For example, if I was designing my page I would:
- draw 2 flags one from South Africa (the place I was born in and grew up in) and one from New Zealand(where I've been living for the past 26 years).
- I am a Muslim - so I'd also include visual images and key words about my culture, traditional dress and cultural celebrations.
You will also be completing your sneaker activity giving me a bit more detail about yourself! Remember to add lots of colour!

Stories of the pastThis 1938 newspaper article reports on the first-ever nationally authorised school camp, held for senior boys from Auckland's Epsom Normal School at a YMCA camp at Hūnua, south of Auckland. The Auckland Star reported that the boys 'did all the cooking and assisted the cook; they studied chiefly Nature, art, practical arithmetic, music, physical education, swimming and lifesaving, went on study rambles, produced plays, and ended each day with a singsong.' Their parents felt that such camps should become 'a permanent feature of normal school policy,' and the Education Department agreed.
