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.
Something I learned about my country is…
My next step is to learn more about the languages spoken in my country.
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.
For our first week back at school, we used Class Dojo to give out Fish! tickets as part of our PB4L Programme.
Check out our tickets breakdown:
Our next step is to give more Play tickets and look for opportunities to incorporate our Play value.
Kia ora koutou.
Today, I am sharing a piece of my writing that I think shows some of my best work. I am proud of this because I think I have used some great descriptive words. I used this image prompt for my writing.
The invisible Man i so I went to him i don’t see him so and i wavered to him i don’t see him i went to see him he was walking down the street . so i . walked to him and he came to me so he is not invisible!
My next step in Writing is to use a capital I when it is on its own.
In our discussions about using kind words and actions, we viewed the story, The Golden Rule.
From viewing this book, we had a discussion about what it means to treat others the way you want to be treated. Our discussion went into the ways we don’t like being treated and how this can help us to remember not to treat others in these ways.
The main part of our discussion was about name-calling. We shared some really upsetting things about the names that we have been called throughout our lives. It was really sad hearing what people have been called and we could all empathise with how name-calling makes us feel.
We are going to make an effort to make sure we are not the ones to be hurting each other.
This is a list of ways we don’t like to be treated:
Happy Holidays At Home
By Lee-Anne Waho
My holiday was one of rest, sleep, relaxation and Netflix.
Term Two was quite busy so when it came to the holidays I was ready to sleep…and sleep I did. Some days I didn’t get out of bed until after lunchtime. Those days went very quickly once I was finally up.
I found some really interesting documentaries on Netflix that I just couldn’t stop watching because they were so intriguing they were about people who were convicted of crimes that they didn’t actually commit. Watching them made me feel very grateful that we live in Aotearoa New Zealand.
I had two road trips to Ashburton. On one of these visits, I meet up with Mrs Duthie and some other staff who have been at our school for years and years and years. We had lunch at quite a nice place and caught up on what everybody had been doing. It had been raining quite a lot and the flooding on the streets was a bit of a worry.
On my second trip to Ashburton, I took my mum for lunch and to a wool shop. She’s a really good knitter and likes looking at different types and colours of wool. (It’s not really my thing but I was glad Mum enjoyed it).
The holidays are now over and we are back to school. Although I miss the lazy days, I am happy to be back with Te Ara Angitu.
The end of the term is here and today we reflected on our goals. Here is my goals reflection.
The best parts of the term were:
For next term, one thing I want to improve is:

We have been learning about crystals for a few weeks. We made our own crystals and have them displayed in our hub. This is my crystals learning slide that shows you how much I have done.
I think I could have done a lot more work on my slide, so I will do it now.
Kia ora and welcome to our Te Ara Angitu blog for 2022. Just to get us started with using this new platform, we would like to introduce you to our Te Ara Angitu staff.
