Anti Bullying

Thursday 12th March 2015 

WALT: I am learning to write a Recount in Paragraphs. 

On Wednesday the 11th of March 2015 in the morning Room 10 and the year 7s in Room 9 had to lined up and walked to the School hall because we were having a  workshop about anti bullying with Petia Wilson and Leah Tuia. We were with Leah because Caroline was not here but we did not mind.

 We discussed about different cultures and the different types of cultures to which we belong, they are Samoans, Tongans, Maoris,Niueans, Africans and Cook Islanders. Then we went in to groups according to the cultures that we belong to. The Samoans in the corner and Tongans in the other corner and each culture was in a corner or in the middle.They gave us a paper one each for a group and we were asked to write about the greetings, language we speak, what important to us and so on.They told us to write it down and then we can do a dance or sing a song.The Tongan group sang a song, the Niuean did a song and were dancing at the same time,the Maori did a Pukana and Hongi and Last of all the Samoa’s did a samoan dance.

The only South African was Samuel but he spoke what he wrote on the paper, he was shy but I was happy because he was brave enough to stand up and speak. After all the Singing and Dancing Petia drew the picture of Hulk because he is a super hero. He played the music called “don’t forget your family and friends” it was very good. Petia was amazing because the picture he drew looked like the real Hulk.

After all ended we lined up and went back to class. It was very good and we all enjoyed by knowing our culture and also other cultures.
