Sasa Practice

We have been practising the School Sasa everyday in Room 8. Today we started learning the last part, check out these clever, coordinated cookies! We need to fix up some of our kupu (words) but our beat is nearly spot on!

We are all very excited for Polyfest in Week 6!

Ko Pokatu mātou - AUE!

Week 5

This week for maths we have been learning about symmetry. We are learning about this because our focus is Matariki and we are going to be making Manu Tukutuku (Māori kites) to celebrate the Māori new year.

We have been reading about Matariki in our reading groups and watching some short video clips too.

Today we looked at reflection and rotation by drawing our own designs using Symmetry Artist, it was so much fun!

This term we have been looking closely at how to write a report. Today we started writing our very own report. We had to collect information about an animal in our reading groups (Miss Osborn gave each group a School Journal that had information about our animals).

We were lucky enough to have two fun-filled days with Mrs Davis last week and we made our very own Newspaper called 'The Memory Times' - Miss Osborn cannot wait to read our memories. Well done to everyone, especially Maddison and Jake who received a RERE award for their efforts.
