Matua Tom
We have had the privilege of having Matua Tom with us for the past three weeks. Today Matua Tom taught the entire class. As part of our experiences for writing - Matua made play dough with the tamariki. We brainstormed our ideas and got lots of rich language for our mahi tuhituhi! Tomorrow we will begin our writing. Tino pai Matua Tom!

Matariki
During Matariki, we celebrate our unique place in the world. We give respect to the whenua on which we live, and admiration to our mother earth, Papatūānuku.
Throughout Matariki, we learn about those who came before us. Our history, our family, our bones.
Matariki signals growth. It's a time of change. It's a time to prepare, and a time of action. During Matariki, we acknowledge what we have and what we have to give.
Matariki celebrates the diversity of life. It's a celebration of culture, language, spirit and people.
Matariki is our Aotearoa Pacific New Year.

Te reo Maori
Every fortnight we work on new vocabulary and sentence structures. Then we draw and write about what we have learnt in ICT.
