Term 3 Week 2

On Tuesday we went to the Nelson Museum for a workshop on Maori Myths and Legends, fitting trip for Te Wiki of Te Maori. First of all we were greeted by Nicki with a mihi and a waiata.  2 of our Room 10 friends shared their pepeha in response and then we sang the waiata Tutiro Mai Nga Iwi
 Nicki told us some familiar Maori myths using pictures and books. Then she shared the local story of the Pelorus dolphin by using a tukutuku panel.
 We showed our excellent audience skills throughout the whole session..well done tamariki.
 After the final octopus or wheke legend we made our own colourful wheke from pipecleaners.


We continued our Te Reo focus by learning how to count to 10. We made this video as part of a whole school challenge. Have a look at all the challenge or wero entries on our new NCS Te Reo Maori blog at http://tereomaorincs.blogspot.co.nz/

 Jane had us jumping through hoops in P.E. this week.


 In news some we were treated to a viewing of a rather spectacular homemade boat.

We introduced a new reading rotation activity this week using pictures and word cards to help us write a story.

As usual we finished the week with a fun packed, creative Discovery Time.
