Below is our very first V-cast. We recited one of our favourite poems - The Huffing Giant. We tried to use lots of expression! Hope you enjoy listening.

This week we took part in the school cross country. This involved running around the bottom field, up the steep hill, through the playground, along the footpath and back to the finish line. Cate and Jeremiah won the race for the year one girls and boys respectively. Jamie N and Gena won spot prizes.

We also spent time exploring the koru design using a range of materials and textures. We had a great deal of fun and made some spectacular korus as I’m sure you will agree.
Here we are standing beside the cherry tree that was planted by the children of the Kowhai team at the end of last year. This tree was planted as the children decided to leave a ‘treasure’ for future generations of Northcote primary children. When this tree was planted it was blessed by the elders of the Awataha Marae.

Week 5 Term 3
This week we have added to our display with room 2 as we have looked at the types of houses that were first built by the people who settled in New Zealand as well as where they built their settlements.
We have also read some Maori legends about Tane – God of the forest and have made a display of the legend Tane and the stars.

Since week two we have learnt a lot about writing narratives. Each week we have looked at some pictures of a cat that obviously has a problem and have written a narrative about them. These are on display in our room.
Maria’s Nana (Jeanette) brought our korus back to school. They are now ready to be painted.

This week Maria’s Nana (Jeanette) came to our classroom and showed us how to make korus in clay. Everyone enjoyed working with the clay and we made some very impressive korus. We took some home to show our families while Jeanette took our favourite pieces home with her to fire.
We have also spent the week investigating how the first people came to New Zealand . We discovered they came in waka’s and were guided by the stars and planets, as well as the migration patterns of the birds and whales. We recorded our new learning by making a wall display with room 2.

This week we had a half hour session with a united soccer coach. He taught us some soccer skills and then we put these into action as we played some games.
We have also continued to enjoy reading stories about Greedy cat. This week we read the story – Greedy cat is hungry. Dearest Katie thought Greedy cat was hungry and fed him the sausages from the fridge!. We thought this was very funny as the cat food was on the shelf above the sausages. We painted our own greedy cats using sponges and decided what they like to do or eat. These are on display in our room.
