Whanau19 Matariki Activities

Our class has been researching and learning about Matariki - The Maori New Year. To celebrate Matariki we also learnt Mutoru, Mahi Whai, E rere Taku Poi, created Whetu (stars), made kites, and read about Matariki.

Mathletics Achievements

Congratulations to these students for their work on Mathletics and earning bronze and silver certificates - next term this could be you!

Korikori Tinana - Health and Physical Education

Our class had lots of fun while the weather was clear to learn and practice our large ball skills. 

We worked in our teams well, supported each other, and most of us had turnes to be the leader of our team. 

Whaea Arna was very impressed that everyone tried their hardest and gave it a go!

Ngahuru - Autumn Leaves

Welcome to Term 2! Whanau19 has some really exciting events planned for this term and look forward to extending our learning and questioning skills.

This week our class went on an Autumn Nature Walk around the playground and had lots of fun throwing the leaves up in the air and getting buried in them! We gathered some exciting language through the use of our senses (hearing, listening, seeing, feeling - emotional, and touch), then transferred this to our writing.
