Rights for Everyone

We have identified and investigated lots of disabilities. We took a class vote and chose diabetes as the disability we would investigate further. Here are our research questions that we formulated.

How does it feel to have diabetes?

What sort of sickness might people with diabetes get?

How do people know if they have diabetes?

How do people get diabetes?

What sort of food can people eat if they have diabetes?

What happens to people who have diabetes?

Is there medicine or tablets to cure diabetes and if so, what type do doctors' use?

What are the different types of diabetes?

We are learning that people with disabilities have rights and feelings just like us. They can still do lots of things that we can do but some things might take them a little longer.

Term 3 Week 2

MAORI LANGUAGE WEEK

Elmars read us a story in Maori called Hohepa te Puru.

We played a Maori counting game.

We sang lots of waiata. We love singing Te Aroha!

Yesterday a blind person came to school. She was called Anne. She brought her guide dog. The guide dog was named Penny. She was fluffy. She was a labrador. She was white. Anne told us how she got blind. She got very sick. Before she got blind, she flew an aeroplane. Now that she is a blind person she can't fly a plane or drive a car. Penny was a nice dog. I can tell you. Penny is just a nice dog. Anne let us pat the dog as well.

Yesterday we saw a guide dog. The guide dog was cute. Anne owned the dog. Anne had a white cane. When Anne goes to the supermarket she needs to feel stuff. She has a watch that tells her the time.

Retold Stories

Every year Haumia grew his kumara. But when haumia grew his kumara, the Taniwha killed his kumara. But Haumia tricked the Taniwha. His trick was to send the taniwha to Manukau. There were no fish. So the Taniwha came back. But Haumia blocked the Taniwha's cave. So every year Haumia could eat his kumara.
by Kahu

There was a boy called Haumia. He grew kumara. There was a Taniwha under the cliff. The Taniwha made waves. Haumia was very, very angry. He climbed down the cliff and he told the Taniwha to go to Manukau. He said that there were lots of fish there but there wasn't! Then the Taniwha came back because there weren't any fish. But his cave was blocked!
