We were learning the Māori names for:
Mountain: Maunga
Hill: Puke
River: Awa
Lake: Roto
Ocean/Sea: Moana
Canoe: Waka
Tribe: Iwi
Sub-tribe: Hapū
We have already talked to our families about landmarks and water sources that are important to us and we will use this information to write our pēpehā (a way to introduce ourselves in Māori). This will link in to our 'take a dot for a walk' art.

Hi guys Cody's mum here(Rochelle). What a great intellegent looking bunch you have here Miss Osborn. Aren't you the lucky one don't you think. Look forward to seeing some super pics and writing from the kids.
ReplyDeleteHi Rochelle,
DeleteThanks for your comment! I agree, I am one lucky teacher, the Room 8 students are outstanding! We are writing 'I am' poetry this week so we will be sharing some of our writing on here next week.
Great job Connor, mum and dad are very proud of you!
