Taha Tinana

Today for our Te Whare Tapa Wha work we mainly focused on Taha Tinana which is about looking after our Physical Health. For our activity we had to create an exercise poster. To make it we had to take photos with buddies or by yourself doing 4 different exercises. I did this activity with my friends Mele and Central, the exercises we did were:

1. Running on the spot
2. Squats
3. Star Jumps
4. Arm Warm Ups

There are different types of levels that you can do for your comfort zone:

1. Easy
2. Hard
3. Extreme

Hopefully everyone can do this to help strengthen their Taha Tinana, doing fitness work really helps your body to stay fit and healthy. I encourage everyone to do exercises in their free time to live a happy life staying fit and healthy

Taha Tinana- Fitness & Hygiene

Taha Tinana- Fitness & Hygiene

Our physical bodies need to stay fit and clean.

Our families and homes are where we learn the basic BUT important steps for this

Here are 5 examples of what happens in my family.

1. My Mum makes sure that my siblings and I sleep early for school the next day so that we have enough sleep and we pay good attention in our school work
2. My family pushes each other to go for walks, runs and exercises at least 2 times each day
3. My Aunties and Uncle goes to the gym mostly at night to stay fit and healthy
4. We have to brush our teeth, brush our hair, dress nicely for school, outings or parties
5. We all have to shower once we come back from school, from exercises, if we feel stinky or gross. (It is no option of missing showering at least a day per week, you should shower each day of the week to stay clean and healthy)

Taha Tinana Challenge

Taha Tinana Challenge!!

Hello blog readers and welcome back, over the past few weeks we have been learning about Te Whare Tapa Wha and it's elements: Taha Whanau, Tinana, Hinengaro and Wairua. We look at each element on different days, so today we are looking at Taha Tinana which is our Physical Health. For our Taha Tinana Challenge, Fonua Challenged all of us to do push ups for 1 minute, to see how much we can do. I did this challenge with my best friend Mele, but instead of push ups we did BURPEES. Wow what a challenge that was. After doing this challenge I feel very Fit, Healthy and happy for doing this wonderful challenge, I encourage all of you guys to do this with a partner or even yourself. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

Taha Tinana- Healthy Snack

 Today we were looking more into Taha Tinana and the ways we can stay healthy and fit. One way was to make a healthy snack. I got inspiration from Nina. Here is my recipe!
So first you chop up some strawberries, Mandarins, banana, kiwi fruit, blueberries and grapes. Secondly you stack them neatly into you plastic cup in the order of a rainbow. After that add a spoonful of yogurt of your chose. Lastly eat and ENJOY!!. What's your idea of a healthy snack.
