TIKA,PONO,AROHA                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       We have been learning about how Jesus respected the Tapu [sacredness}of people. We listened to the story about the Samaritan woman who talked to Jesus, even though Jews hated Samaritans and were not allowed to speak to them. Jesus asked her for some water which shows that he respected her.
Also in the story of Jesus healing the leper, he got close to the man with leprosy which he could have got sick from. He felt pity for the man and healed him. These stories show us how we must treat other people, even those who are different to us. This will mean that we treat others like Jesus did, with Tika (being just and doing the right thing), Pono (being truthful) and Aroha (loving).
I show Aroha when I help Nino when he doesn't understand something. I show Pono when i I tell the truth and I show Tika when I stick up for someone is being hurt.
