Information about coconut leaves by Alfonsus, Kalisi, Mele, Zenith, Jonah, Ofa.

As you know our inquiry topic has been "Amazing Plants!" We started with New Zealand Native plants and moved to plants of the Pacific. As a learning hub we all looked at the coconut tree together as it has importance to all of our Pacific nations. Last time we looked at Achilles' group and the coconut meat/flesh and Maraia's group about the coconut shell. This time, Alfonsus, Kalisi, Mele, Zenith, Jonah, and Ofa have shared their information about the coconut leaves!

Alfonsus - Fun facts about the Vanilla plant

For our "Amazing Plants Inquiry" we each chose a plant that was important to our families from the Pacific. Alfonsus spoke with his parents and one plant they came up with was the Heilala or the Vanilla plant. Here is some information he and his family researched together!

Māori Myths and Legends: Tama-nui-te-rā

 In Te Wairua Pakiki 4, one of our reading groups is called Tama-nui-te-rā. Tama-nui-te-rā is the sun so our reading group all read the story 'How Māui slowed the sun' and retold it in their own words. Here is the slide by Alfonsus, Sani, Solomon and Vili.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

 In Te Wairua Pakiki we have been looking at our Prayer to the Holy Spirit and how it can help us stay on track with our virtues in all aspects of our life. We pray to the Holy Spirit to inspire us to live holy and fruitful lives. This week we looked at some of our own actions and reflected on how we could ask the Holy Spirit to help guide us back.
