Things to Tell You

Tena Koutou,

This week we want to tell you about our maori art. We have been drawing korus and have made some kowhaiwhai panels and turned them into an entrance for our class door. It is very bright and colourful and every time you walk through the door you are blessed and given strength by the tiki at the top.

We have started writing 'A Moment in Time' pieces which are short, detailed parts of a story that use juicy words. Tom did an outstanding job for his first Moment and Time so we have published it here for you to read.

I was being lifted up, I felt so scared I nearly lost my breath. I screamed because I really felt I was going to wet my pants. All of a sudden it dropped me!

We are very excited to start drinking milk this week. We drink it very day after lunch and think it tastes delicious. We then fold the milk boxes a special way so that they can get sent to Thailand and be recycled into things like paper and roof tiles.

Please write a comment.

Till next time.

Our First Week in Term Two

Hi,

What a good first week we had. We learnt about lots of maori things. We had a lesson with Mrs Yeomen and she taught us the maori words for cat, dog, bird and goldfish. The word for bird is manu the word for dog is kuri, the word for cat is ngeru and we can't remember the word for goldfish because it was too hard! We also sang some waiata. You can watch the video of us singing our favourite waiata Tutira Mai.
