Our Assembly

This week Room one had our assembly. It was so much fun and we are getting way better at talking on stage, using a microphone and presenting in front of an audience. We shared our growth mindset plays and our cucket fulling. We also shared our narrative writing. We had a special house chant competition at the end which was really cool. Whaea Chloe made this video of the house chants.

Then and Now

We have been learning about the olden days and comparing what we do now to what people used to do. This is some of what we have learnt. We also wanted to know what our awa might have been used for in the olden days and now.
The awa was used for collecting kai, water, transport (waka), fun, washing and bathing. Now we mostly use our awa for leisure and recreation like swimming, kayaking and eeling for fun.

Measuring Fun!

In Room one we have been learning about measurement and we have been getting creative with our learning. We made marble runs and measured how far our marbles rolled. We also got outside to measure our courts with our feet then a ruler. We measured leaves and went on a measurement scavenger hunt. It has been loads of fun!

 

 

Fitness with Matua Bodean

We have been working with Matua Bodean learning fun games to play during fitness. We love the new games we can play and we can't wait to keep playing them with Whaea Chloe. 

We know how important daily fitness is for us to keep fit and healthy.

Kahurangi NZ Maori Dance Company

This week were lucky enough to have the Kahurangi NZ Maori Dance Company come and perform for us. We loved watching them and learning some new maori hand games. They performed an awesome matariki dance/show and we learnt a lot about the star cluster and meaning/traditions of matariki. This was cool because we had done matariki in term 2 and now we got to refresh what we had learnt.
