Movie Making.

We have had a lot of fun movie making these past 2 weeks.
We are making our movie through an app called iMovies. First, we brainstormed ideas. Second, we made a story board. Third, we came up with a script, and today we done all the filming with Whaea Devean and Tamarah from Ngā Rau Puawai. We are looking forward to seeing all the completed movie's from the many classes in our kura on Wednesday.
Here is a sneak peak to our movie. Can you guess the theme?

Whākawhanaunga day with Peowhairangi.

Today we had a whānau day with our tuakana from Totara house at Bay of Islands College. We had a fun filled day where we played games, sung waiata, performed kapa haka, coloured and had a kai tahi. We can't wait for our next one!! Check out some of our photos from the day.

CROSS COUNTRY FUN.

Yesterday, (the 7th of September) was our school cross country. We were all super excited to be travelling by train, thanks Mrs. Henare for thinking up such a cool way to travel! A few of us from Ngā Rau Rito placed in the top 5 and will be competing in the SBOI competition in a few weeks time.
Well done to everyone who participated!! :)

Cultural Festival

On Friday it was the cultural festival here at Kawakawa Primary School in the hall. There were 6 other schools that came. We done kapa haka, waiata and kanikani. It was a great day and we had a lot of fun watching the other schools on the stage.

Te hanga kēmu.

This week we made our own board game with Whaea Cara. We based it around the story "Sneezy, Weazy Mr. Shark". We added traps, express passes and made our own rules.
Today we taught a buddy how to play our game. It was super fun!

REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE

Today we had a lesson about recycling with Anuk. 

We learnt the difference between rubbish, recycling, composting and reusing.

Our favourite part was sorting the rubbish into the right category. We are very interested in making our own compost bin here at school.

How do you recycle at your school?
