Kia Manawanui Reflection on our Whanaungatanga Experience
Introduction:
On this trip I felt that we had connect with others on our trip.What we did was building relationships with mix girls and mix boys.
Polyfest trip!
Year 7 and 8 whanaungatanga experience on term 1 week 7 had us going to our first polyfest as a year 7 and 8 syndicate to see cultures perform in their own way.We did this so we can build relationships with others and communicate and participate with others to get better to know other people better
.We started off by getting into our groups with our adults.The adult that we had was Miss Kyla which was very cool and fun to go and explore.Then we went off to go and eat some food that people had being selling from their own shops at polyfest.When we were eating, some people went off to go buy them some food from the shops that was there.
At polyfest we saw different kinds of shops selling food from their own culture and also different kinds of schools,some from other areas from us and some near our school areas.Then we went off to explore how people went.We first went off to see 2 performances from the kapa haka groups which was really fun for Miss Kyla to come and see her culture performed.Next up was us seeing things that people from all across the world make.After that our adult Miss Kyla got to go and buy some crafts from the crafts shop which was selling things they make from their country.After finishing they let us to watch people have a dance competition.
When they were having a dance competition,we just waited until our bus arrived for us to go back to school and get ready for our school sleepover.
While the bus was still coming ,a lady came and gave us a Polyfest bag with a few things in it n they were a pair of glasses,Polyfest tattoos,balloons and a poster of cultures,there are some more but I can’t remember them.
When she gave the bags I was sort of impressed but not as much and thankful for what they have given us.
The bus arrived and every school that were there was ready to go back to school,when we walking to the bus I almost fell because my legs were sore and tired from walking all around it was tiring to walk around for 5 hours .
While we were going back to school,Me and Aletheia saw a man get arrested by the police and also seeing a lot of things around the area.
While we were still in the bus some people were sleeping and I was too while Wallymei was poking me in the head which was annoying.
Then we had to go home to have a shower and get our stuff ready for the night and I was really happy to do this.
I felt happy to sleep over and get to have a day and night with our friends and build relationships to others you don’t really hang out with including everyone.
What I found challenging was Doing a chant with our groups because we were so into doing our skit and not doing our chants.
WALT:We are learning to build relationships with others
