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.

Week 4: We are going back to school!

Today i got some of the tamariki to create a google draw to show How they are feeling about going to back school. 

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!

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.

  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.
