Paying It Forward...

Have you ever showed Manaakitanga by helping someone across the road?
What about showing Whanaungatanga by helping someone pick up papers that dropped on the ground even though you're in a rush to get somewhere?
Have you ever been inspired by the caring acts of other people?
Well our class have been watching this video which was based on paying it forward. Everyone in this video was inspired by another person, then they inspired another person.
Everyone was helping each other.
Check out this video, and leave your thoughts in the comment section below😊

WALT: To write down what we are grateful for

What Am I Grateful For?

Choice #1

Statement: I am grateful for my family because I was able to be happy. But if I didn’t have a family I would die and be sad. But luckily God gave me a family because he wants me to be happy and he wants all of us to a family so we all can be happy. I am grateful for my mum, dad, brother, sister and baby sister. I am grateful for them because I love them.

Explanation: Why am I grateful for my family. I am grateful for my family because they help me stay happy, and I am grateful for my family because they help me stay alive. My explanation for my family is very good because when I am with my family I feel safe. And sometimes when I am not with my family I don’t feel safe. And that is why I am grateful for my family because they make me feel safe.

Example: For example when I am walking with my family I feel safe. And when I am at home with my family they make me happy. But when I am home myself. I feel left out like no one wants to talk to me. Because they sometimes go somewhere and I am at home myself doing something like watch tv. Or go watch movies on the netbook. So that is why I am grateful for my family because they make me happy.

Choice #2

Statement: Another thing that I am grateful for is education. Because if I did not know what additions was then I could've been dumb. But if I did not have an education then I would’ve done bad stuff and end up in jail. But I want a good education because I want to have a good job. But my education is not good but I am going to make it good.

Explanation: My explanation for education is going to be strong because my education is going to be good and I am gonna make it good. Because my education is low right now. But I am going to make it high. And I am going to make it high by  listening and doing good by doing my homework. I am going to make my education high by studying very hard when i am at home and practice the subjects when I am at home.

Example: For example when I go to college and my education is low I am going to start working hard so when I do a test I can get a good result. But if I don’t start working hard that means I will get a bad result and I don’t want a bad result. I want a good result so when I show my parents they can be proud of me because I have worked very hard to get a good result. And when I get a good result that might mean that my future will be good. But if it is a bad result and that might mean that you will have a bad future because you do not know anything.

Choice #3

Statement: And the last thing that I am grateful for the ability to play sport. Because I love sport and sport is the one thing that I do around here. Sports is the one that makes me energetic. Sports is the one that makes me happy to. Because when I run or play rugby that makes me happy because when I run with something like the ball. The ball is the one that makes me happy.

Explanation: My explanation for sports is that everytime I play I make my friends happy because when I play with them they share the ball. And the thing is that when I don’t share the ball they get angry because they want a turn to run with the ball. So that is why I share the ball because i want the game to be fair and humble. Because if it is not humble we all start to get into a fight. So when I play with my friends I start to play fair and start to be humble so we do not get into a fight.

Example: For example when I play and someone causes trouble I can tell them to cool down. And when I play with my friends and they are cooled down i can go tell them to say sorry to each other. Because sometimes when I play with them they sometimes get angry easily and i want the game to be humble because I don’t want to have any fights when we play. And when we play Basketball we sometimes get angry because when someone shoots on us everyone starts saying “ ohhhhhhhhh” and that is when everyone goes hard. But the thing is I should worry about myself when I play sports so I can make sure that I am safe and not hurt.

That is all I have for you today thank you for reading.
