Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

 

Today, some of the children in the hub performed in the Kapa Haka group at the Kaiapoi library. Those of us back at school learnt tī rākau - Māori stick games and did some weaving pictures that are on display in the hall foyer.

 

We also completed some koru art. Ka pai to mahi!

Over the last two weeks, the children have loved visiting Harold in the Life Education truck. The colourful lights are still a highlight. The children have been learning about the food pyramid. They know that food from the ground they should eat lots of, food from animals they should eat some of and food from ingredients a little of.

Toy Inquiry

SOFT TOY DAY

We have been learning about how toys have changed over time.  

This week we brought our favourite soft toy to school.

We shared our toy with our friends and described them in our writing.

1. What they could see
2. What that thought it was
3. What they wondered about the item
