Writing: Taha Whanau

 Te Whare Tapa Wha


Te Whare Tapa Wha is a concept we talk about a lot.

They are the 4 pillars of healthy living - Your physical (taha tinana), your mental (taha hinengaro), your spiritual (taha wairua), and your family/social (taha whanau) wellbeing.



Today we will be focusing on our Taha Whanau - Our Family & Friends.


Today you will be focusing on RECOUNT WRITING



Recount Writing

Write a recount of  a time when you felt supported by your whanau or friends, or you showed support to your whanau, or friends. These moments are the ones that help us realise just how important our Taha Whanau is to us.


Make sure you include…


  • What happened

  • How you felt

  • Who was there

  • Why it was special


Remember for recount writing:


  • The 5 W’s and cousin H (who, what, when, where, why, and how)

  • Narrative structure (beginning -> middle -> end)




My Writing Style is about EID (Muslim celebration) 

In the morning at 5:00 or 6:00 o’clock my family and cousins get ready for EID. Eid is a muslim celebration. We celebrate God and happiness. I felt happy and excited. We went to the mosque (muslim cutural chruch) we prayed and said” thank you good for making us muslim’s”. We were very happy and we started giving out candy bags and sweets. Me, my cousins and brothers shared our candy bags all together. And also with our parents. Our parents made us lots of sweets because on EID when people come to our house to say “ EID MUBARAK” we give them the sweets to eat with some nice green tea. It was special because we were celebrating our happiness and joy. We were having lots of fun and we also went to eid’n park. It was fun. I went to the bounce castle with my three cousins. THE END
