Patu!

We watched Merata Mita’s full-length documentary Patu! (1983), which is about the 1981 Springbok Tour.

I found it interesting that…

the police actually hit members of the public.

I think if I had been at high school during the 1981 Springbok Tour I probably would have…

gone to the protests and hit the police back if they hit me, I would also try wearing a lot a protection.

After watching this documentary I am now wondering…

If anybody died while protesting?

Critical thinking is very important because it teaches people how to think harder about something that would otherwise be simple

we should be taught about this in class more often by doing more hands-on work.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi: upholding its principles and contributing to our bicultural society

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing Accelerating Proficient
I don’t know much about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I’m starting to understand Te Tiriti and its principles. I am learning about the partnership between Māori and Pākehā in our country. I’m getting better at upholding the principles of Te Tiriti, and I understand why it is important to help strengthen the partnership between Māori and Pākehā in our country. I take personal responsibility for following Te Tiriti’s principles and helping to build our bicultural community. I routinely uphold Te Tiriti’s principles and contribute to our bicultural and multicultural community.

Te Reo me ōna Tikanga: learning, protecting, and sharing this treasure from the ancestors

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing Accelerating Proficient
I don’t use Te Reo much beyond basic greetings and group karakia. I’m learning some Te Reo words and waiata and can introduce myself in Māori, saying my pepeha. I’m gaining confidence in using Te Reo and am learning words and sentence structures to read and write basic ideas. I can participate in haka, waiata, and traditional moteatea. I’m good at using Te Reo to communicate. I know some common sayings and I can understand the differences between dialects. I participate confidently in haka, waiata and moteatea. I can use Te Reo confidently in various situations and understand different dialects. I know common sayings and traditional stories. I participate confidently in haka, waiata and moteatea and can take a leading role where appropriate.

Wairuatanga: understanding and respecting different beliefs, spirituality, and customs

 

 

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing Accelerating Proficient
I don’t think about spirituality in my life or learning. I’m starting to understand spirituality and respect it in different situations. I understand the importance of spirituality and show it in my behaviour. I deeply understand and participate in or show respect for spiritual customs in various situations. I maintain a deep understanding and respect for spirituality and different beliefs.

Rangatiratanga: showing responsibility, honesty, and bringing people together

Limited Evidence Emerging Developing Accelerating Proficient
I don’t like being a leader even when people encourage me. I’m okay with taking on small leadership roles when asked. I can step up and take on leadership responsibilities in some situations. I often show leadership and support others in achieving our goals. I lead by example and inspire others to work together.
