3g4g fo guang shan temple W.I.P

On the 14th of May we revisited the fo guang shan temple with year 7’s, when we got there we were greeted by the buddhists from the temple. When we settled down they taught us a greeting the greeting is when you pressed your hands together, then we were led into the first floor artifact area, and split into two groups (1,2) 7/8Tz and Bh. We went to another room and made a lotus flower, those flowers symbolize clear of heart and mind, afterwards we watch a short film about the original Buddha.


  

My thoughts on Buddhism, is that they have a goal that other religions don’t have (that I know of) their goal is to obtain world peace and make everyone equal, I don’t think much of religion so I don’t have a better understanding.

Pink shirt day

What sort of things make a good friend?
What do the people who care about us do?
How do we know they've got our backs?
What don't they do?
What do you think being an outstander means?
How did the pink shirt boys show that they were good friend?

1. A good friend is someone that has your back, helps you when you need it and tries their best to support you.
2. People that care about other people try to make you happy and spend time with you as  much as possible.
3. When they have our back it means when you are getting bullied or are trying to give out options.
4. Try to hurt your feeling even if it means not telling you things.
5. An Outstander goes out of their way to help people and respect people.
6. They bought 50 pink shirts to support the bullied person.

Ki o Rahi Hurumanu

About Ki O Rahi

Ki o Rahi is a large team game thats played with 2 teams, kioma and taniwha on a large circular field. Played for 4 quarters or 2 halves of a set time, teams swap roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half or quarter time.

Kīoma score by touching the Pou/s that are in the Te Ao with the Kī  then running the Kī through Te Roto/the next area and placing it down in Pawero/second closest circle to the Tupu to convert pou touches into points. Kīoma stop the other team, Taniwha.

Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu with the Kī. Kīoma will have Kaitiaki around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu. Depending on which variation is being played, Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by either touching, 2 handed touch, ripping the tag or tackling them in the appropriate area.

Music - ASMR

Have you heard of ASMR?
What do you feel when you listen to ASMR?
Is it something you would like to make?

I have heard of ASMR before, I am unsure of when I learnt about it but it was along time ago, I don't enjoy ASMR nor do I hate it I don't get any joy or discomfort from listening to it, but its fun to make ASMR. I would't mind do ASMR sometimes.
