Puppets and Ventriloquism!

This week on Drama, we were making paper bag puppets. Unfortunately, we just got back from ESOL and we only had about 20 minutes of Drama. We only had this limited time because we were going to vs the New Brighton team for basketball. Although in our limited time, we still found out what we're going to do for the past few periods for this week. The aim was "How does eating healthy food help all 4 aspects of Hauora?" My group which was Axle, Lars and I.

The first aspect we did was Taha Tinana, which is (Physical Health). We chose this first because we think it is the easiest one to do first. Physical Health means eating healthy such as fruits and vegetables, exercising, which is making you more fit and active.

The second aspect is Taha Whanau, which is (Family). It is still like eating healthy foods, or sometimes not healthy. It is about eating with your Whanau, which makes a more substantial bond with your family.

The third aspect is Taha Hingeraro, which is (Mental Health). Is emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also relates to others, and how we make choices.

The last aspect is Taha Wairua, which is (Spiritual Health). It is a matter of involving values and beliefs that provide a purpose in our lives.

We talked about plans on how we were going to do a story and what characters we are going to make the puppets. Our idea was that we were going to make characters from anime, but we mixed them around. My idea was that I was going to make a puppet out of Kaneki which is from an anime called "Tokyo Ghoul". Lars's idea was he was going to make Gordon Ramsay, Axle's character is Vito Corleone from the God Father which is the movie. Anyways that's all we got up to for our 20 minutes of Drama. 

This is a picture of Axle's puppet:
