They had come up to Greymouth to do some rock climbing and had a spare hour to stop in and see us. We introduced ourselves and then sang some waiata, The Matariki Macarena and Taukaea Aroha (Ko te Whirika) and then went outside to play Crazy tag.</span><br />

The classes planted seeds and seedlings in our greenhouses and some children learnt how to cut the runners off the strawberry plants to replant them. Te Hiringa joined Mamaku 3 for their gardening. Whaea Eli also offered to run a gardening club at school too, lucky us!</span><br />

We went to look at th carvings on the front of the Whare Akoranga and listen to the story behind what each of the carvings meant. Whaea Catherine told us the story of how Aoraki and his brothers became the Southern Alps as they huddle on the back of their upturned waka. We also played games, sang waiata and did our mihi.</span><br />

We had a week filled with fun. We created our own door display of a book we had read, did buddy reading and had our book character assembly. We love seeing what the teachers dress up as and this year they came as crayons from the book 'The day the Crayons quit', which also happens to be one of our teacher's favourite books!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We went out one morning and pulled the weeds out so the kumara had a better chance to grow. Whaea Katie had to help us identify what a kumara plant looked like first to make sure we were pulling out the right things!</span><br />

This time we went to Mahitahi (Bruce Bay) to stay at Te Tauraka Waka a Maui marae. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was a 3 and a half hour drive and we stopped at Harihari domain to have morning tea and Fox Glacier school to have lunch, arriving at the marae about 1:30pm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We were welcomed by some of the whanau of the marae and had a kai with them afterwards. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We spent most of our time there inside as it rained and then we were late back on Friday night as there was so much rain the roads between Bruce Bay and Hokitika were shut due to flooding and slips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We still had a lovely time though and we heard the stories of the wharenui and marae and got to see lots of beautiful carvings and tukutuku panels.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had to follow these rules...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. Build the waka using only 5 whole newspapers and a roll of cellotape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. 3 people from the class have to fit in it (we worked out that Whaea didn't specifically say it had to be people in our group or be sitting down)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are some photos of our efforts</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month, August, our whole school has visited our local marae, Arahura Marae, just north of Hokitika. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have 360 students at our school so that was too many to go at once. We were split into 4 groups and the groups had both older students and younger students and some in the middle syndicates. This way we ended up with buddies, like a tuakana/teina system. It meant we had to help each other out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had about four practices per group going and our class, Te Hiringa, helped lead these. We had to teach the rest of the school about the powhiri process and what happens and why it happens.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We loved our trip there and listening to the stories about the marae. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nikau had a very busy day on today, not only was he our presenter for our 'Respecting our environment' video but he had been working with one of our new entrant classes, Rata 5, to teach them the legend of Poutini and Waitaiki.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He had learnt the local legend for his speechboard entry and Rata 5 had just been to visit the Arahura Marae so it all tied in nicely.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mrs O, our principal, put out a challenge to our classes to create a 1 minute video about respecting our environment.

We combined maths and art to create our pixel art self-portraits. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Using square units we created a likeness of ourselves then used larger squares to create bigger artworks. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We also wrote in te reo Maori how many square it took to create each of our features.</p>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First we started off with some practice activities which made us look closely at the pictures we were given and then we had to redraw the pictures so they were as close as they could be to the original picture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We thendid something much harder and did observational drawings of our shoes. Some of us did 2 or 3 pictures and we noticed new things each time to add to our picture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We also drew our flowers that we had done an experiment on. We had been looking at how plants absorb water and put some white flowers in food colouring and after a couple of days we could see the petals changing the colour of the food colouring they were in.</span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-7443ea90-2879-cc86-6afa-2d4e76f9c1a6"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As part of our Te Māra Kai ki te Tēpu (Garden to Table) unit we have looked at composting. It is a great way to give back to the garden so it can have nutrients to grow more food for us. What's even better is we had food scraps left over from our vege prepping we did for the kai cooker at the Family Fiesta last week so we used those!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last Friday we had our annual Family Fiesta to raise funds for our school. Our class had two jobs we had to do to help out with it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first was performing in the Kapahaka group. We sang He Honore, Tiaho Mai Rā and did a haka which was a combination of Ruaumoko and Tahu Potiki.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our second job was helping with the kai cooker (like a hangi). Our whanau came and prepped the veges for the kai cooker on the Thursday after school. On Friday morning we helped put the veges and meat in the trays.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First we put in the watercress on the bottom, then added a mixture of paukena (pumpkin), kumara, riwai (potato) and karoti (carrots) then spread the chicken drumsticks around on top. We carried the trays and stacked them in the kai cooker.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the bottom of the kai cooker we had to put manuka wood chips to flavour the hangi. They had to be soaked overnight in water so they could create smoke and not burn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Check out some photos of us!</span></h3>

We read a story about how Waitangi got its name, the story of Maikuku's cave. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We decided that we needed to come up with a class treaty to make sure that we all have the best environment to learn in. We came up with lots of ideas and then managed to get them down to 4 things that we could follow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is us with our Treaty that we each signed to say that we would abide it. </span></div>

We got a visit from the Super 15 cup in the lead up to the pre-season rugby game between the Crusaders and the Hurricanes. This game was held on the field right next door to our school and the teams used our hall and classrooms to get changed in. We were all so excited!</span></div>

We came up with ideas about what it meant and how we could use Kotahitanga at home and at school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We looked at two whakatauki too. The first one was 'Ma pango, ma whero, ka oti te mahi' and the other was the one in the picture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This picture is a representation of our class using Kotahitanga to get something completed. We each had to colour in a square of the picture and we had to look carefully at the original picture to make sure that we had similar colours. If we had have tried to colour this each by ourselves it would have taken us a long time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kotahitanga is great for getting anything done quicker!</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297798789742001461.post-17970531476463634382017-09-18T07:46:00.000+12:002017-09-18T07:46:09.539+12:00Māori Language Week<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Māori Language Week 2017 we watched the video 'Say it Tika' made by Voadafone and starring Temuera Morrison. It was to highlight the fact that Google Maps often say our Māori place names incorrectly. We also notice that the place names around our West Coast are regularly said incorrectly so we have created a slideshow showing how to say them correctly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are going to screencastify it at a later date so people can hear the correct pronunciation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Are the place names in your area pronounced correctly?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For our Matariki celebrations this year each class made a Matariki banner. Each class had to choose one of the 9 stars of Matariki to represent on their banner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We used heavy calico and fabric paints to create them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are now hanging up outside at school so everyone can enjoy them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enjoy having a look at them.</span></div>
