All About Me - Assignment
We had such a lovely morning sharing all of the posters. I loved watching the conversations develop about items that grabbed interest. Most importantly, I loved watching the pride on the children's faces as they shared their family history with the rest of the their group/class. Wonderful! Thank you for all the hard effort and time put into these master pieces. Very proud teacher :) Now to decorate the room with them!

All about me assignment - Due Friday 28 March
Homework assignment - Term 1
As part of our research into the world around us this year, I would like to begin with where children in the class originate from or call home. This helps us to orientate ourselves within Te Aramoana, Waikanae School, our community and New Zealand.
The children's task is to collect items and information from your family (or community) that reflect where you and they come from, what experiences they have lived through and to find any recorded memories. Examples may be from Toku Whakapapa (my geneology) - your mountain, lake, river, canoe, tribe, marae, family members, etc. You could include photocopies of newspaper articles, maps, letters, photographs of people, places or events. It could include an immigration story, part of a family tree or a timeline. The ideas are endless, but overall should help the student to reflect on where they come from.
An A3 piece of card will be given out to present your 'All about Me' assignment and once done, will be shared with the class or a small group.
The essential thing for you is to communicate with your child about the experiences of their ancestors, so that they can learn the stories behind the selected items. Imagine what they could learn!
Here are some examples that have been completed already. Outstanding!
