Wāhanga Tua Toru Wiki Tekau: We have made it whanau!

Kia ora koutou, yes we made it, stayed connected, had some fun and learnt some new knowledge along the way. I am really proud of our tamariki who engaged in meets each day as i have seen real promise and growth in their Te Reo. We all did our best to keep connected and learning.

We celebrated Chinese Language week in week 10 with daily activities and a challenge for the week. Some of our tamariki submitted awesome pieces of mahi. Our Chinese zodiac winners were for the tuakana: Buster and teina: Remy, they both will get 50 tokens towards their Fale. All other entries will recieve 10 tokens each.
I know this lockdown has been a long one but hope all goes well over our holidays and we are back together in our akomanga learning and playing in our kura. We have a big term ahead, so enjoy your holidays and lets celebrate our learning!

Wāhanga 3 Wiki 9: Mahuru Māori

 Kia Ora Tātou, 

If you didn't know that this month is mahuru māori , so the tamariki of akomanga 16 have been working on not only learning different kupu but also sentences and making sure to use them at home! 

Levi's kupu

This is to encourage whanau to use Te Reo in the home and increase the confidence of our tamariki.
We had a great week continuing to learn about ngā atua Māori, increasing our vocabulary in both languages and reviewing our statistics knowledge. 

TuhiTuhi: Levi

Fun activity: Tūmatauenga by Remy

I have noticed a real improvement in our students Te Reo reading, pronunciation and confidence, Ka rawe ngā tamariki o te akomanga nei!  

WĀHANGA TUA TORU WIKI TUA WARU: TE WIKI O TE REO MĀORI

KO TĒNEI TE WIKI O TE REO MĀORI

Māori Language Week has been celebrated each year from 1975. September 14 and commemorates the presentation of the 1972 Māori language petition to parliament.

Kia kaha te reo Māori 

‘Kia kaha’ is well understood in New Zealand English with its meaning of ‘be strong’. We often talk about languages as if they are people – talking about language health, strength and revitalisation. So when we say ‘Kia kaha te reo Māori’ we’re saying  - ‘Let’s make the Māori language strong'.

E aro ana te akomanga 16 ki tēnei kaupapa o Te Reo Māori, ahakoa he iti, he pounamu mō ngā tamariki nā te mea ko rātou ngā rangātira mō āpopo. Anei ngā mahi pāpai rawa mai te ako, te kōrero, te pānui me te whakarongo. Tītiro ki te paetukutuku hei ārahi i ō tātou mahi mō te wiki nei New Windsor Language Celebrations .

Rāhina: Ako Wero: Karakia mō te kai

Rātu: Kōrero Wero: Pepeha

Rāpare: Pānui Wero: Pānui Pukapuka

Rāpare: Whakarongo Wero: Whakarongo me te kanikani

Tītiro ki tēnei padlet hei āta tītiro ki ngā mahi o tātou teina mō ngā wiki katoa.

Term 3 Week 6 & 7: Level 4 Learning Experience

 Kia Haumaru te noho tātou!

I do hope you have all tried to get sometime outdoors and spending time with those in your mirumiru (bubble). We have all been doing our best to keep connected by morning meets as a whanau and also using online games to have some fun.

The akonga have been earning fale tokens for participating in meets, engaging in set daily tasks and showing our New Windsor Way during our online communications.

Our Teina Remy and Levi have been working really hard at home with their parents on the daily tasks. Take a look and make a comment on their work on our padlet. 

             

Also we do Rāpare - Reo, where we do our work in Te Reo only, here is our Tuakana doing pānui on a meet.

Term 3 Week 3: Calendar Art

 Ngā Mihi! Akomanga 16 have been working hard on our calendar art and also testing our knowledge in Pānui, TuhiTuhi, Pāngarau and Te Reo Māori.

The Tamariki have worked really hard finishing off their calendar art by cutting out kōwhaiwhai patterns, pasting them on a blank piece of paper, colouring the negative space, using what to enhance different space and then covering the piece with dye. 

The tuakana have been writing a pieces of persuasive text, trying to convience me to watch the new ' Space Jam' movie, which i hope they share these to their individual blogs soon.  On Friday Rāmere the students go to invent a game using paper cups, paper plate and other bits and pieces.

Make sure to check out some of our picture but also it would be great if you could leave a comment below.

   

    

    

Term 3 Wiki 1

Nau mai hoki mai! 

Week 1 has started with learning our new ako routines for our akomanga. 

We also set a learning goal which we included on our kites to make sure they are high up and we will strive to reach them. 

Here is what they looked like at each step. 

Term 2 Week 10: End of the term Whai Koha

  Tama tu tama ora, tama noho tama mate!

Ngā mihi ō te mutugā o te wāhanga tua rua kia tātou katoa. Last week of the term has been full of finishing off our learning for the term and reinforcing the concepts we have been learning. 

We have had very busy but fun term learning about the broccoli tree, Matariki, Atua Māori, how to use technology correctly and practicing our New Windsor Way's.

It is a sad day as we also goodbye to Matua Reggie, who has really embraced our tamariki but also Te Reo me ōna Tikanga! Ka kite Matua, all the best on your teaching journey. 

Take a look at some of the highlights and please remember to make a comment below.

      

         

Term 1 Week 9: Te Aranga

Kia Ora!

Week 9 was a short week due goal setting meetings and Easter Weekend but we did our best to use our time to the best of our ability. Students started swimming lessons this week, discussed why we celebrate Easter, which students all had different reasons for this.  We designed our own Easter egg and practices our weaving skills.

Term 1 Week 8: Whanaungatanga

 Ngā Mihi kia koutou katoa,

The tauira this week have been busy getting on with our core subjects, Te Reo, pūtaiao and learning about Ngā atua Māori, their responsibilities and which of our New Windsor Ways they show. The tauira have realised they all show different attributes which depend on their actions during the creation story or what their role is. 

We also learn't about how to take good photo's on our ipad and then took pictures of tauira displaying the kawa of care.

          

              

                      

Tauira like doing Just Dance

We always make sure to do pūtaiao which this week was Suck it up learning about how water and minerals are sucked up via the plants roots into the stem for the plant to live but if a soil pest is added this can stop the water and minerals been sucked up. Which has an impact on the health of the plant. Tauria really enjoys these hands on experiments.
