What might I enquire into to achieve the goals I've set myself and my learners for a mask-off world.
What about parts of the future that might be mask off?
How can I use one of the curriculum areas or two to achieve the goals I've posted below 'Mask on'?
Looking forward to sharing my inquiry findings.

This was a collection of data across our class. The data shows what things we spent time on during lockdown in level 4. We used a tally chart we created on our whiteboard to then create this pie graph.
You will notice that the most popular activity for our class was spending time with our family. They were all times and activities that strengthened our family relationships.

Why do we do Mihi, Karakia and Himene
Today Mrs Tele's challenged us as to why we have to d oout mihi, karakia and himene.
We pray because we always have to praise the lord for giving us another chance.
We do our mihi because it makes us think about our ancestors and family and its wakes our body and brain.
