Week 3: (17-21st February 2020)
Kia Ora Class. This week we are going to watch the movie ‘JoJo Rabbit.’ We will also discuss the themes of the movie.
Synopsis of the Film:(‘Jo Jo Rabbit’)
1944 Germany. Ten year old Johannes Betzler, more commonly called Jojo, is the son of good Germans, his father away fighting in Italy, while he is under the care of his mother Rosie, with his older sister Inge recently having passed away from illness. With only one true friend in the form of same aged, bespectacled Yorki, Jojo, in wanting to fit in, is arguably entering what he would consider the most important phase of his young life in attending a Nazi youth camp presided over by Captain Klenzendorf, Captain K's almost too faithful assistant Freddy Finkel, and Fräulein Rahm, who takes Nazi policies in a slightly off-kilter direction. Despite being considered an outsider by most of the other youth in town, Jojo figures he has a leg up on everyone else at camp in that he is constantly being guided by the spirit of Der Führer himself, Adolf Hitler, whose personal bodyguard Jojo aspires to be when he grows up. In his general day-to-day life but also supported by his time at camp, Jojo has a hatred for Jewish people despite not really knowing anything about them or ever having met anyone of the Jewish faith, the ultimate goal to kill them. So when Jojo meets someone Jewish for the first time, especially as that meeting is in what is for him the most unlikely of circumstances, Jojo has to figure out what to do. While truly believing he is a Nazi despite not really knowing what that means, he has to decide either to follow what he has been taught in hating and trying to kill any Jewish person despite knowing that killing is not in his true nature, or not, which may have larger consequences with relation to family. While he decides, he truly gets to know the person beyond the label of "Jewish" which may factor into what happens.

Week 4: (24-28 February 2020)
Quote at the end of Jojo Rabbit
The quote used at the end of Jojo Rabbit is:
"Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final."
It's an incredibly inspiring and comforting quote. It communicates that we will experience the extremes of life - the highs and lows - but there is always more to come.
You may feel defeated, lost or helpless, but nothing is permanent.
Kia Ora Class. Last week, we watched the movie ‘Jojo Rabbit.’ This week, we have two sessions due to Teacher’s Only Day on Friday. We will discuss the themes of the movie. Also, I want you to think about your Points Of View/s (POV) in relation to those ‘Themes/Big Ideas.’

Term 2 (Week 2-20-26 April 2020)
Kia Ora Class. This week, you are doing the following activity.
LOCKDOWN MEMOIR
You are home during the lockdown. This long stay at home will be memorable for a long time. You may have been doing things which you have not done before or for a long time. Also, you may have learnt a new hobby or a life-skill. You may have been bored at times and doing something very exciting at other times. You may have realised that it is not the THINGS but PEOPLE who have the power to make you happy or sad. You may have learnt the importance of family, friends, grandparents, relatives, school, teachers and essential workers.
I hope you will value a hug, a smile, a compliment, a few kind words, a cheerful ‘Kia Ora/Howdy’ much more than you did in the past.
I want you to record your ‘Lockdown Memories.’ You may do it on paper/diary or digitally. You can include your pictures, videos, family interviews and some writing.
Here are a few ideas/headings you could use in your Memoir. Add more if you like.
