The Importance Of Having A School Holiday

The Importance Of Having School Holidays.

School holidays is a time when children relax their brain from school work. It allows them to recharge  their brain cells. Sleeping in the holidays helps the tissue in your brain cells to regenerate and it can stimulate the levels of your nervous activities.

In these holidays the children can make a better connection  with their own family and to enjoy what has been brought to them. Children and parents build up stronger bonds with each other because they spend more time together.

School holidays help us to de-stress from the pressure and difficult things in life for example over-worked. De-stressing helps you to calm down, to forget about things that stress you out the most, also de-stressing improves your health and this leads to less sickness.

As a result we children are able to recharge our brain and body to learn for the next term with new goals, learning and assessments, and that is why having a holiday is very important for everybody .

Prior Knowledge Of The Commonwealth Games

I know that the Commonwealth Games happen every 4 years. Countries around the world compete in the Commonwealth Games to win medals There are different activities that  take part in this event. Valarie Adams  is a New Zealander who plays in the Commonwealth Games.

My Present Knowledge Of The Commonwealth Games.

The Commonwealth Games started in the year 1930. They did not put together this event in 1942-1946  because of World  War Two. Six different teams or countries attended this event to represent their culture. The Commonwealth Games is an international multi-sports held for the athletes from the Commonwealth nation. These nations are from the United Kingdom and from countries that are previously part of the British Empires Games. The closing ceremony for this year’s Commonwealth Games is in August the 4th, 2014 taking part at Hampden Park.

Evaluation

My prior knowledge had a small amount of information. My present knowledge of the Commonwealth Games has expanded. I have built on my prior knowledge by google searching the Commonwealth Games Wikipedia to find information about this topic. I will learn more by watching the news or by reading the newspaper.

Haumgaru- Technologies

When I to Tamaki College, I learn in Digital Technologies.

The Maori word for technology is Hangarau.

I have to use the Kiore and Papa Patuhi to login to the Rorohiko.

At school I use a Rorohiko ponaho.

We use Ipurangi to log into the Pae tukutuku for Digital technologies.

We have to check the Maramataka to see what our task for the day is.

Sometimes our teacher sends us messages on the Imera. Sometimes our teacher uses her Waea Pukoro to give us dojo points or take pictures.

I have learnt the following words:
Rorhiko- computer
Rorohiko Panaho- laptop/ netbook
Kiore- mouse
Waea Pukoro- cell phone
Ipurangi- Internet
Imera- email
Maramataka- calendar
Papa Patuhi- Keyboard
Pae Tukutuku- website
