Mana Potential:
Make sure bear images and emotion words are assigned to the colours so that kids can link these together.
Putting their feelings into sentences.
I am feeling………
Clapping patterns of emotion words like we do for names etc
Emotions poems
How are you feeling? IS there a bear on the wall that matches how you are feeling? - can I spread these out
Red - don't make it the bad guy
Enjoyment of learning activity
Is was good
It was Ok
It was ok but a little bit tough
I didn't like it
It was Ok once someone worked with me
I really enjoyed after I got some more help with it
Blue like taking a deep breath and light blue breathing out and feeling better
Big Red REST button on wall display.
Dark blue like the wind pulling you off the ground - some grabs your legs and pull you back down so you can feel better.
Pukana is strength not just anger
Visual images to go with how we might feel
Y - thumbs up or clapping
O - so so hang loose hand
P thinking face
R - reset button
DB - people working together getting help / talk with someone else so that
B - you can feel better
Kids names or photos that they can put on the colours to show where they are sitting - move it to the whiteboard where Maths is????
Needs to be in an arched position with the arrows and visuals.
Green Papatuanuku - if I am busy who will be your go to person. Look around without talking and see who is going to be your go to person for writing / reading etc. Share who that person might be with the person next to you.
GO TO PHRASING - Self affirmations
Front load them with go to phrases:
If I am busy who can help you?
Where will be your best go to place?
If you get stuck what could you say to myself - I am kind, I am happy, I can do this count them off on their fingers - remind them to touch their fingers to remind themselves of all the things they are good at.
How will you show aroha for yourself and others during morning tea today?
Who will be your go to person at morning tea?
What if that person doesn't want to play with you - what can you do?
Check in’s - add the images to the check in cards and then can just put cards out in idle of circle and say line up to show how your morning tea was. Thats all you need to do.
Interesting activity is about what they DO want to do to make it work for their learning or in the playground
E.g I don’t want to write about this
What tools do i need….
to be successful for my learning?
To have a great lunchtime.
Tuku Iho - It’s bigger than ME
Individual photos and pages - they need to own this and choose their own photos so that they own it and they have the narrative of it that goes with it.
Can just be a strip for each individual.
Teacher also needs their own strip (same size as the kids)
Mana - how can we help develop the idea of this with the kids.
Mana can be
Enhanced / increased / lifted up
Maintained / stay the same (this is what we want)
Decreased / let down
How do we make somebody feel when they come into the classroom?
How do they know that this is the best class in the school?
Display with the arrows so they can see if what they did put the mana up same or down
Leader of the day could put out the check in colour cards.
