Wiki Tuawaru

Tēnā tātou katoa,

WOW, this term is flying by so fast!!
Oh korowai look great on our wall and have added lots of colour!
Titiro ki ēnei korowai ataahua!!

We have also been working in pairs on the school notebooks. Learning and playing maths games (the tamariki thinks it's fun too ) on e-ako maths. In pairs the tamariki work out maths problems and the discussions that were heard around the class was great! Tamariki disagreeing and stating why, tamariki explaining how they arrived at the answer, a great product of Bobby maths.


We also created our own whāriki during our kaupapa time. As you may know we are right in the midst of our Māori New Year, arā, Matariki. Look at our tamariki amazing creations and although we thought weaving would be easy, it turned out to be a little more difficult than we imagined BUT we got there in the end. Through this mahi leaders shone and were able to help their class whānau learn the art of raranga.

                

Ka mau te wehi Tumanako me tāu mahi āwhina!!

Rā whakanuia mō Matariki

Matariki, kanohi iti

Ngā mihi o te tau hou Māori ki a tātou katoa.

We welcomed Matariki in style with a whole school buddy class learning session followed by an awesome opportunity to check out ALL the other classes around the school.

Room 23's buddies were room 3. We learnt how to make korowai with feathers and card before moving on to Mrs Tesese in room 3 to make kites :)

Look at our wonderful, colorful creations



Watch out for the sticky feathers!


Wow! Your korowai look AMAZING!!!


Nā ngā tamariki o te Akomanga 23 ēnei korowai i hanga.
Ka mau te wehi koutou mā.


So colorful and bright! Just like our Matariki Stars


Out korowai look great and add a splash of color to our akomanga.
Tau kē tamariki mā!


Ko Cefira te kaiwhiwhi tohu mō tōna mōhiotanga Matariki.
