As part of our PB4L programme, we have been using Fish Tickets through ClassDojo.
These points go towards our on-going Fish! Ticket count. This is our Week One end of week totals.
Students need to have ten tickets to go to Fun Friday at the end of the week.
Each week we have a group of boys from Takitini and Angitu who have lessons in a class called Mau Rākau. The boys are learning a range of skills used in Māori weaponry, the taiaha. Today, Miss Waho was able to watch them for a bit.
To share their learning, we are planning a performance later in the term.
This year we created a cultures card. It has our photo, my county’s flag, the national bird of my country and is says my name and where I am from in Te Reo Māori.

In March, we took part in the Sport development Series day at Kyle Park which was organised by the the team at Sport Canterbury. Members from different sport clubs had games organised that our students moved around and had a go at.
It was a fantastic day and an awesome opportunity for students to try different sports. Here are a few pictures of the group that Miss Waho was with. BMX was a definite favourite.
For Fun Friday, a group of ākonga chose to do some Easter Egg scratch art. We used skewers to scratch of the black paint which revealed some beautiful colours.
Here are a few that are in the process of being created.
We have been learning about syllable types.
An open syllable is…
A closed syllable is…
This week we have our first school-wide digital assembly. Part of our assembly is a welcome to ākonga who are new to our kura.
This term, we welcome these lovely people.
We are learning the colours in Te Reo Māori.
This week we are learning about the importance of following adult instructions. It is good to do this because it helps our learning.
The next step for me is to make sure I am listening so I can follow adult instructions straight away.
