Taha Hinengaro: Things I'm good at!

Taha Hinengaro: Things I'm good at!

Task description: Malo e lelei and welcome back to my blog, today we did another Te Whare Tapa Wha activity. This time we looked back on Taha Hinengaro which is all about our own mind, heart, conscience, thoughts and feelings. It is also about how we feel individually as well as how you communicate and think. For our activity today, first we had to take a photo of ourselves and place in onto a google drawing. After that we had to come up with things that we are good at and place it around the photo of yourself. This helped us by feeling and thinking much better, this can also help us by gaining more confidence. ENJOY

Grateful- Taha Hinengaro

Grateful- Taha Hinengaro!

Having the action to be grateful  to others is  very important in your everyday life. It means showing or feeling an appreciation for something done or recieved. My mum always taught me and my siblings to be grateful when people gave us gifts for birthday parties and christmas presents, because it's always the thought that counts.
'Start each day with a grateful heart'.

Here are 5 things that I am grateful for today.

1. The roof over my head
2. The wonderful and caring family I have and see everyday
3. My Teacher at school because she teaches our class new stuff each day
4. The food provided for me on the kitchen table
5. The amazing best friends I have at school that look out for me everyday when I go to school

Have an attitude of gratitude!

Taha Hinengaro Challenge!!

Here is a photo of me meditating

Hello blog readers and welcome back to my blog. Today in Te Whare Tapa Wha, we were looking into Taha Hinengaro (Taking care of your mental health, emotions).  So today Nina Challenged us to do a Taha Hinengaro Challenge, in that challenge we had to Sit quietly, close our eyes, breathe gently and meditate for 3-5 minutes. Here are some ways you could clear your mind.

• Meditate and clear you mind
• Pray by your self 
• Listen to relaxing music
• Have some  alone time
• Lay down on your bed
• Read a book
• Get off any technologies and go for a walk or hike
• Write down your thoughts on a journal
• Sing some hymns
• Talk to a friend, adult, sibling

These are all ways to help clear your mind because they are all things you can try on your own and doing things by your self will give you that boost in life, so that you can relax and get on with your life. Doing these things during your life will definitely help balance your Taha Hinengaro Powers. I really think that everyone should try this Challenge. Good Luck Everyone.

5 Things I'm Grateful for

I'm Grateful for..

1. The roof over my head because some people hardly have shelter so I'm lucky to even have a house
2. The food provided for me and my family because some homeless people go on for days without  food so I must be grateful to eat what I get.
3. The caring family I have because some people grew up without being in a family, but I'm definitely grateful to grow up in a loving and caring family that is always there for me whenever I need them the most.
4. The loyal friends I have at school because they play with me at lunch and always cheers me up when I'm sad or unwell.
5. The loving and hardworking teachers at my school because they are always at school getting our education ready for  all of the students.
