Matariki

We celebrated Matariki with our younger class, Te Pouahi 16. This was a great time to celebrate and reflect on our lives and the lives of those around us.We had a shared kai and celebrated togetherness.

Welcome to Term 3!! Nau mai ki te wahanga Tuatoru

Kia ora ano te whanau

Well, we have had a great start to the new term! We welcomed back Isabella who had been on holiday in Italy with her whanau. Isabella shared some of the great things that she did while she was on holiday and also told us what it was like going to an Italian school! Ka tau ke!

Our tamariki have been busy with making a powerpoint with a song and presenting it during a school assembly. Their willingness to take on ICT responsibilities is wonderful, ka wani ke!

Maori Language Week was celebrated with our Tamariki teaching other students how do do the poi, the rakau and string games. we celebrated our mahi by having a shared kai( paraoa parai!!)

Totara Syndicate had a hangi, this was popular for the whole school, so much in fact the kai was all gone!

Whaea Manna is doing well back in Japan. She keeps in touch regularly and will have some photos to put on the site soon...

Also we will be sharing some myths that the tamariki from Te Pouahi 15 have written and some photos of their fabulous art work.

until then, hei konei, hei kona!
