My Whare Tapa Wha

Today we were learning about Whare Tapa Wha. Taha Hingano is your mental health, Taha Whanau is your social relationships with people e.g family, friends. Taha Wairua is your spiritual side like if you believe in god and if you go church, and Taha Tinana is your physical side like how you are developing into a adolescence.

Write a short story using this image as your inspiration.  

Think about:  What is happening here?  What lead to this situation?  What is going to happen next?  Who are these people?  How do they know each other?

A Mighty little  girl helps her dad.

One boring day, dad decided to mop the floor since he had nothing to do on a Saturday. However, he couldn’t get under the couch by himself. Jennie dad’s youngest daughter in the family decided to help out and lift the couch for him.

Jennie was tough and strong. She lifted the couch with all her strength but didn’t show any struggle in her face. She made it look like it was easy to lift the couch.
She looked like superwoman lifting a building to let the people free.  
Dad was so amazed he thought he was dreaming, he rubbed his eyes in confusion and asked her “How did you do that”? With shock. “Easy peasy apple pie.”Sshe replied still holding the couch in her little hands.

She put the couch down slowly smiling at her dad “Do you want me to lift the other couch for you”? Jennie ask him. “Nooo it’s ok i’ll lift it myself later let’s go get something to eat.” He replied back feeling jealous she could lift a couch without any struggle.
“Ok” She said happily. Then left to get something to eat.

On Wednesday 13th of February, we were lucky enough to interview Mark Lowndes. He is famous for his appearance in Australia's Got Talent. Miss Aireen organised our interview, which we did online using Google chat. I learnt that Mark lowndes been singing 12 years, His mother Inspired him to sing, he came from a musical family, he opened for Boys 2 Men and he also wrote poetry. He left us with the message to believe in ourselves and follow our dreams. I felt lucky to meet him and inspired me a lot than I thought.
