Our trip to Motat

On the 27th of June we went to Motat for a school trip. We were there to learn about how things balance. We learnt a lot of things about the olden days as well. 

Thank you very much Motat for letting us come.

Thank you to the bus drivers and tram driver, Rob.

Matariki 
By:Maraea

Today I went to Hawkins theater just across the road.Nearly the whole entire school went. I had fun watching The Matariki Glow show. When I was watching the show The thing I liked about The Matariki show was the acting. In moari culture Matariki to them is happy new years so they celebrate Matariki for representing a new year.Sometimes celebrations of Matariki can last for 3 or 4 days.If you also didn’t know Matariki is also a legend ,their legend name is “eyes of god” but their username that we call them is Matariki. In our year 2019 we can also celebrate Matariki even today! Cause like I said Matariki can last either 3 or 4 days and Matariki was yesterday! The time is 10:00 am in the midnight.

Our alphabet books

Room 1 has an optional homework task. This task is an alphabet book. Each week the children work on a letter of the alphabet, pick a topic, do some research and present their findings in creative ways. I (Miss Haerewa) have enjoyed reading letters 'A' and 'B' so far. I have learnt a lot about new topics and I can see what some of the children in Room 1 are interested in. Keep up the amazing work Room 1!

How to make a good blog post

We have been learning about what makes a good blog post. To show our learning we made a Google Drawing listing the 6 things you should have in a blog post.

We all learnt something new and focused on what questions we could ask the audience so they will reply with more then a yes or no.

Do you enjoy sharing your learning on your blog? Do you do all the 6 steps and which one do you find the most difficult?

We find asking questions the most difficult because we want to know lots about our viewers!

Last week The Minstrel (Hiwi the Kiwi) came to visit our school. Him and his wife sang songs, did dance actions, told lots of jokes and called us "Boo Boo". He was so funny. We had a lot of fun joining in with him as we learnt about fishing and water safety. Read some of our stories below to see what we learnt!
