Room 12
KC for
managing self
Room 12 has
been working very hard to ‘manage themselves’ in week 9. They have been
focusing on this particular key competency and reflecting on whether they have
been successful in this task or not. Some students spoke confidently about
being able to manage themselves and working independently to take their inquiry
learning in their own hands. They decided to provide evidence of this fact to
the whole class by giving presentations about their ability to do research on
their inquiry questions with enthusiasm. Look at what they had to say to
convince us.
Inquiry question 1 Tapout
“I
wonder how we can use the ‘Hauora’ model to keep us fit and healthy”
We can use ‘Hauora’ to make
room 12 a healthy space by keeping physically, mentally, socially and
spiritually fit. We can do so by being positive, making wise food choices,
exercising and being happy and truthful.
-ANGELE
Inquiry question 2 Cobras
“I
wonder how I can make my lunchbox healthy ?”
We need to bring healthy food
in our lunchboxes. You can choose a heathy meal from the food pyramid. Healthy
food will give you loads of energy and help you to be fit.
-NANCY- - BELLA
Inquiry question 3 Avatars
“I wonder what exercises or fitness I can do to get stronger arms.”
We need to exercise every
day. Running, jogging, squats, burpees and swinging on the monkey bars will help
you to be fit and strong.
- ANGELA
We need to exercise to be fit
and strong. By doing pushups, playing sports and running you can be fit. Even
doing housework will keep you fit. With exercise also eat your vegetables and
fruits to be strong and fit.

Inquiry question 4 Kingkong
“I
wonder how does sugar give us diabetes?”
Too much sugar is bad for us.
It causes diabetes. It is bad for our growth and development.
- DANIEL Room 12 listened attentively to all the presentations and gave them some useful feedback (what they did well) and feedforward (where to /next step).
Fotu to Angele: I liked how you made a
powerpoint presentation about Haoura and explained it to us.
Ayush to Nancy: She was loud and clear.
Daniel to Bella: I liked how she told us
about the ingredients to make a healthy sandwich.
Kaytana to Angela: I liked the way she
presented. She was expressive.
Shadrach to Bryan: I like how you said
housework to be fit and healthy.
Imran to Daniel: I like the way you listed
all the important things about sugar being bad for us. It was valuable.
After much decision, at the end of the
presentations they voted for the best one –
Winner: Angele’s ‘Haoura’ powerpoint .
All in all it was an exciting week for room
12.
