Week 8: Clearing out and Sending items home!

 Huro! Wiki tua waru

What a week of doing mahi from pāngarau, tuhituhi, hauora and also watchinig out sunflower plants sprouting. The tamariki have really enjoyed planting sunflowers, watering them each day and watching them grow.

We have taken time to reflect on the year and we are busy preparing for next week celebrations from prize giving, graduation and our special event of the year Poroporoaki.

Week 7: Change

Kia Ora Wiki 7!

Wow time is going so fast and we are focusing on having a little fun, doing bits of each subject obviously still learning but making sure to look after each other leading up to the holidays.

Take a look at the following clips to catchup on what we have done this week!

Term 4: Week 6 Hauora

 

Wiki tua ono!

 The tauira have been working each day on basic facts, Pāngarau, Tuhituhi and Pānui but the main focus is our hauora. In room 16 tauira we have been doing our best to stay connected to students who are not yet back at school via meets twice a day. 

We have found that some days are better than others but that is okay as well. If is really nice when new students come back to school and the one thing we can be sure about is that things are always changing! 

In our akomanga and kainga we have been doing our best do activities to look after our whare tapa wha: Here is Hikitia te hā.

Term 4: Week 5: Friendships and back to school!

 

Week 5 has been a hard week for us all! I have to say masks are not the easiest to wear all day as a teacher but i will show manawaroa whanau!

Room 16 has been writing and reading about friendships from how to be a good friend, what makes a good friend and how to problem solve the challenges of friendships.

In pāngarau the tuakana have been learning about identifying patterns and the teina have been learnng about place value. Take a look at our teina padlet to check out and comment on their work.
