Christmas 2021

We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Our Christmas decorations had a 'Xmas Tree' theme. We made a finger print xmas tree card, a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees. What a great way to end the year.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

EOTC Days

Last week our class went on the EOTC days we went to lake-Ngatu and waiari. We went to Lake-Ngatu on Wednesday and Waiari on Thursday. What we did at Lake-Nagtu is we had to walk from my batch into the forest and the forest walk was super long it felt like it  took 2 hours just to get to Lake-Ngatu. When we got to Lake-Ngatu we put some sunblock on and then we had a little nibble and then we went for a swim after the swim I had some lunch and then I got changed because I was getting cold.When I got changed I had some more lunch and then I went to go and play with Alaris,Ryan,Kylan.

Poetry

WALT respond to different types of poems. We are going to use different poems to help us practice our reading strategies.

What we learnt in poetry is rhyming words how to make a rhyming word is that the end of the word has to be sound the same like moan and groan, rain and drain They make scenes.
We also learnt about alliteration. Alliteration is when the sound is the same at the beginning of the word like spiders spin silk.

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

 WALT read, write and say māori words and sentences.


When we had Whaea Seroya, I learnt how to make a wheku mask,and how to play Whare,whare kemu which is bingo and our Kupu o Te ra I learnt words like Papa-takaro which means playground,and ,Arai-mata,which means face mask.We learnt how to write in Maori and speak in Maori too.It was so,much fun learning maori because every time when i get home I kind of taught my family how to speak Maori too.We learnt names for fruit like(Hua raku) and the word Kemu which means game.I liked it in the afternoons because we would play Whare,whare Kemu. It was petty hard trying to figure out what the words mean.We made our own Puka,puka about Hua raku.
