Last week some of us made some totally cool creations with recycled materials. We talked about the kind of shapes we'd used. Lots of us didn't know what to call the tubes - Lucas informed us that they are cylinders!
Have a look at our Explain Everything where we describe our creations.
What fun Māori language week we had! Each day there was a new question outside the office to answer relating to Māori language. Ka pai tō mahi to the children of Room 3, we had a winner everyday!!
Rāhina - What is the Māori name for yellow? - Coby
Rātu - How did Maui slow the sun? - Kerrin
Rāapa - Where is the kura whare pukapuka? - Zach
Rāpare - What is the Māori name for Christchurch? - Tuarangi
Rāmere - What is the Māori name for the colour of our house Ti Kouka? - Savannah
Dylan brought a selection of his favourite books about Maui which he shared with the class.
We also read In the Beginning by Peter Gossage.
Then we went for a walk out to the car park where we discovered a mural depicting the same story! We were so intrigued by the beautiful colours and patterns we began looking at patterns in our Mathematics programme.
At Kapa Haka this week we learnt a new song 'To Tinana Ki Roto' which we have been practising in class. You can find the song and lyrics here:
Out on the playground we were working on using Kia ora - Thank you and Aroha mai - Sorry. Well done to those children who got prizes from the duty teachers for being caught using these words.
What a great start. We are looking forward to continuing our learning in this area.
Tino pai to mahi to Whaea Jo and Miss B for the awesome organisation this week.
