Week 9 Term 3



Here is a photo of the taniwha’s we painted last week.


This week we have been learning about Marae protocols as we prepare to visit the Awataha Marae next week. For many of us this will be our very first experience of entering a Marae

We have also continued to write information reports. This week we wrote one about the wood pigeon as they like the moa were used by the early Maori people as a source of food and their feathers used for cloaks. Two new podcast have been added on the right hand side of the page as two children ( Tor and Marie ) share their knowledge about the moa with us all.


The children are very proud of their art work and it can be viewed in the library this week . Orders to make these wonderful pieces of art work into cards and/or calendars need to be placed by the end of the week.

Week 8 Term 3




Here we are working on our calendar art. We have painted our trees using cardboard and sponges. The finished piece of work is made into a calendar and is available for sale later in the year.


This week we have read poems and books about the taniwha. We have written a description of our own taniwha and painted it. Below is a story we have read and enjoyed about the taniwha so much so that we have made a wall story about it.
