Today, Huia Whanau are writing about one of our school values: respect, or kia tika in Te Reo. Respect is a common word that is used a lot in our class and in our kura. It usually means to show regard for, or to hold someone or something in high esteem or honour. For example, many of our tamariki hold their devices in high esteem, so very often we see them holding, carrying and using their devices in a respectful manner.
Respect can be shown in many ways. We can show respect by listening to others when they are speaking, and responding in a polite and considerate manner. We try to communicate in respectful ways, even when we disagree with someone. We use words like, "thank you for sharing" or "please stop, I don't like that". Sometimes this can be challenging when we are feeling angry or frustrated, and takes a lot of energy and concentration to continue to show respect for others. We can also show respect for others by managing ourselves in a way that allows everyone to learn. We can operate in quiet tones, and try to stay focused on our learning the best we can. This means that we are showing respect for ourselves by giving ourselves the best chance to succeed in our own learning, as well as being respectful of the mahi our classmates also have to complete.
Being respectful is important, not only at school, but in every area of our lives. When we are able to practice respect, we are growing and becoming mature, young people with good character.
I'd really like to know, what does respect mean to you?
Hi Miss Fleet.I like how you listed a variety of respectful manners. I also like how you gave an example for the respectful communications and how you used a question at the end.
ReplyDeleteRespect to me looks like someone looking at the speaker, listening to the speaker and using manners.
What do you like about respect?
Hello Miss Fleet. I think that respect looks like someone helping out another or showing the speaker our attention.
ReplyDeletelike that you have loads of information about what respect looks like. I wonder what respect would look like at a birthday party.
what would it look like to you?
How did you write all that down in seven minutes? it took me almost forever!
To Miss Fleet
ReplyDeleteRespect to me, is a way to show that you show you have enough empathy to listen to people and do as you are told, without becoming careless. It means to me if everyone was respectful that the world would be a better, safer place. This is a very high quality text, and I like your choice of vocabulary, and your relevant and fitting examples. What I struggle to grasp the concept is, that you completed this text in a mere 7 minutes. It would take me closer to an hour to complete a text of this quality/quantity.
Hi Miss Fleet, what does respect look like to you in different environments? And do you think that if you are respectful to people will they always return it to you? How did you think of a quality blog post in 7 minutes? And last of all what do you think is the most important thing when you think of respect?

Dear Mrs. Fleet.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you've been able to display examples of multiple thing such as manners the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph an probably more.
To me and my culture respect looks like serving others and getting out the way for others. It is hard to believe that you were able to write this in 7 minutes. So I ask to you, how were you able to write this in such a short time frame?
Sincerely Dr. Joshua D. Brits.
Respect to me is my family and friends and treating them with care. For example Jaspa is my friend he has been my friend ever sins i started my school.

ReplyDeleteHi Miss Fleet,thank you for taking your time to write this blog post,I really enjoyed reading your blog about RESPECT, It really stands out and shows what respect actually looks like hopefully Huia Whanau will show that.I think that respect is like showing kindness, you want people to show kindness to you so they show it back and respect is the same thing they show respect to you, you show it back to them. I reckon we should show respect at home, school, public areas EVERYWHERE.Thank you miss fleet for giving me a bit of and idea how to show RESPECT!

Hi miss fleet this is alot of work that you did in 7 minutes. what respect looks like to me is using manners such as thank you, yes please,no thank you and others. another way that respect looks like to me is looking after my motor bike with and treating it kindly. nice work miss fleet.
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Fleet
ReplyDeleteRespect to me looks like not hitting or punching and helping people that need help.
i like the way you use full sentence in your paragraphs and added a question at the end of your post.
for you to write this in 7 minutes is really cool if i had to try write this in 7 minutes i would not have done it 😊
I can't believe that you did this in 7 minutes, to me this would take like 30 minutes. Ok so lets get in to what I think respect means.
ReplyDeleteRespect to me is like taking off your hat inside, not stealing, listening to the speaker and a lot more.There is also being the woman or man of a argument. Another thing is having the tv volume down at night or not yelling or screaming at night or at a time when your supposed to be quiet.
Kia Ora Ms Fleet i think this blog post is incredible and has inspired me to open my mind to new ideas about respect, i really enjoyed how you have weaved your Maori knowledge into this post.
ReplyDeletein my perspective respect is not only sitting up strait and listening to the speaker, but is also an act of kindness and perseverance.
sincerely, Liam Daniel.
Hi miss fleet this is alot of work that you did in 7 minutes. what respect looks like to me is using manners such as thank you, yes please,no thank you and others. another way that respect looks like to me is looking after my cheifs jersy
