The chromebooks have landed!

Wednesday was an exciting day as we received our new learning tools...our chromebooks!

Ka tino hiamo matou! We were really excited!

Kotahitanga

A lesson in Kotahitanga...working together.

We had to work together to get from one end of the basketball court to the other using newspaper to stand on. We worked in teams, the fastest team completed the task in about 4 and a half minutes, the slowest team in about 8 mins (their newspaper was almost in pristine condition though).

We tried it again and got the whole class across in less than 4 and half minutes. 18 extra people moved because we used kotahitanga and worked together.

Battle of the Mountains

 Battle of the Mountains

We listened to the legend about how seven mountains in Te Ika  a Maui (the North Island) came to be where they are today.

In groups we each created a set of maunga (mountains) and our own Te Ika a Maui. 

If you want to see the finished products, come along to our assembly on Friday!

Tētahi waiata hou - A new song

We are going to be learning this song to teach the rest of the kura. It's very catchy. We hope that you can help us to practice this at home too!

Te Arapu Māori song

Wiki tuarua o te tau hou


Ka whakarongo mātou ki te kōrero o Matua Emile.

On Friday we listened to Matua Emile. He was telling us about what the different parts of a wharenui are for and how we can relate some of the principles that relate to the parts of the wharenui to ourselves and our learning. Ka pai te kōrero!
