Hangi

Some of the senior tamariki are helping to prepare the kai for the school hangi. Yum!

Legend Retelling

Room Three and Four learnt the legends of how Maui slowed down the sun, and how the Kiwi lost his wings. Here is the Room Four displays retelling these legends.

Room One's Matariki Celebration!

Room One have been busy learning about Matariki and creating some art works to support our learning. We painted some pictures of us viewing at the seven stars also known as the 'seven sisters'.

Matariki Star

Some Room Three and Four children made the Matariki star out of natural materials for discovery this morning. It looked fabulous!

Sea Week

For sea week Rooms 3 and 4 learnt about how Maui fished up New Zealand and how the Paua got its beautiful coloured shell (Tangaroa's Gift). We enjoyed creating sea creatures to turn our cloakroom into an underwater haven.

Room 5 and 6 - Maori Place Names

Room 5 and 6 have been learning New Zealand place names during community time.
