Traditional Whare





This Whare is like the ones we have been learning about. Did you know that some Maori whanau back in the old days had more than one whare? And that most of their whare were old? Once the British had their modern houses, housing for Maori changed too.

mahi, mahi, mahi!


Kiaora ano Whanau

Tino kaha matou ki te akonga a matou nei mahi, me nga mahi o a matou Tupuna. Tata matou ki te mutunga o a matou mahi mo Te Tiriti o Waitangi, a, e mohio ana matou kei te korero matou ki a matou whanau mo nga mea i akona e matou.
This week we continued to work on our past/present presentations, we are excited about what we are learning and what we will be sharing. Once our profile photo is completed it will be on our blog, exciting!

hard at work



Ko enei tamariki e piki ana ki runga mo a ratou mohiotanga i nga rorohiko. Kei te mahi ratou nga mahi mo te Tiriti (Tohu nui) o Waitangi. These tamariki are expressing their knowledge with computers. They are currently working on their Heritage presentations and these encompass their understandings of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Blogging team

We have agreed to our job descriptions (yes, Whaea said we needed them!)
The blogging team this week are Rosa, Abel, Lucy and Miro. We decide which work we will pulish onto our blog, and then we decide what order we want to put it. We are taking our job very seriously because we are excited to be able to do this. We are working well with our Interacive Whiteboard too, loving being able to create a page, write up our research questions and be appreciated as a class!

IWB- Interactive Whiteboard

We have an interactive whiteboard in our classroom and we have been using it to post our thoughts about the Treaty of Waitangi.
We also have been using it to look at our classmates writing and edit work together. We think this is cool because we get to be teachers and we are getting better at not being shy to do this stuff.

He aha nga mea wera..what's hot??

Well, what can we say..
we have had 3 people who have been lucky enough to be our "Whetu o te Wiki"- Stars of the Week..they were Lucy Davies, David de Thierry and Abel Johnston.
Our class this year consists of Year 5 and 6 students, and we are lucky enough to have 3 classes in our syndicate. Our Syndicate is Te Pouahi- we are a bi lingual unit who is passionate about learning!
This term we are involved in swimming, music, drama, Suter visits, Life education Van to name a few. Over the next few weeks, groups of students will be uploading mahi from our akomanga for yout to look at.
We are currently studying the Treaty of Waitangi and are having lots of fun researching key people who are part of our history.
We are also learning to be SMART!
