Te mahi tiriata mō te pō "Kaikohekohe Movie Night"

We have been eagerly planning our movies in preparation for the Kaikohekohe Movie Night.
At this stage we are unsure if this night will go ahead but we are hosting a day at our kura any way.

Our class have put themselves into groups and are creating their storyboards, as well as deciding on who is playing what role in their movie making. We have highlighted these as key roles; producer, director, film crew, cast.

Stay tuned to see what we produce.

 

Hui ā kura

 I tū tā mātou hui ā kura i tēnei rā. Ko ngā tau 7 ngā kaiwhakahaere mō tēnei wāhanga.

I whakaatu mātou i ngā mahi mai tēra wāhanga, arā, ko te mahi 'Rongoā Māori', ko ngā toi 'Matariki Eye Art'. Anō nei i tū ngā tokowhā ā Mahuta, Kyle, Harleah rātou ko Harleah ki te whakahua i ngā mahi tuhi māhorahora. I waiata mātou i te waiata Aotearoa hei whakakapi i te huihuinga.

Ngā mihi ki te katoa o NRRangatira mō ngā mahi mīharo hei kawe i ngā mahi ki te kura.

Today was our class assembly. This was lead by ur year 7s.

We showed our learning from last term which was, 'Rongoā Māori', our 'Matariki Eye Art' and 4 students, Mahuta, Kyle, Harleah & Kahukura shared their tuhi māhorahora stories. We ended our assembly with the song Aotearoa. We learnt this song as we are currently learning about cultures and this relates to our NZ heritage.

Big mihi to everyone in our class who put in the effort to showcase our work to the school.

Reihi Whakarea - Multiplication race

We have been learning multiplication.
Today we broke into 2 groups and had to work together to complete the multiplication grid.
Team 2 were the first to finish, but because they got a few wrong both teams were tied in the end with 84 points.

Our first week of Term 2

We have had 14 tamariki present for our first week back. We were very happy to see each other, and share stories of our lockdown.
We are learning the new kawa (protocols) for during level 2, and keeping a safe distance has been quite difficult considering we just want to awhi each other.
We were also on taumata this week, which we held through google hangouts.

We hope your first week back was kei runga noa atu as well.

Huihuinga Kūkara.

For the past 2 weeks we have been connecting online through Google meet.
We start each day with taumata, followed by sharing time where we tell each other what have learnt and what we have been doing in our mirumiru.
A very different way of learning but very grateful to have this rauemi to stay in contact with each other.

Kei a wai?

E takaro ana mātou i te kēmu "Kei a Wai" ia wiki. He kēmu pai tēnei hei whakakaha i ā mātou ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. 

We have been playing the reo Māori game "Kei a Wai". This game is helping us with our oral language, and we are also learning to read te reo Māori...all while having fun!

Surf Lifesaving

We were fortunate enough to be given te opportunity to learn about surf lifesaving.
We travelled to Ruakaka with Ngā Rau Tipuranga and some room 12 tamariki where we learnt from 2 of the local life guards.
All our tamariki thoroughly enjoyed the drills, and swimming.
Thank you to Sofia and Stella for sharing your knowledge with us.
