My ART

Last term Te Ngahere, parents and Te Maunga were doing Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. We were learning how to draw Koru and Kowhaiwhai patterns. The patterns represented our family I did a sun with Korus all around it. When we are all done with the art we will hang them in our Whare.

Student Led Conference

On Wednesday Te Ngahere had Student Led Conferences. If you don’t know what that means, well it means a parent meeting but the kids are telling their mums, dads and caregivers, what you have been learning and how you are getting on in the class. We had to make a google drawing to link our work for the meeting. My meeting was at 3.15pm my brothers was at 3.30pm. First Mrs Pou, one of my teachers, gave my mum my report to read while I was telling her about my learning. Driving home my mum was proud of me and how I’m getting on. Maybe your class should give it a go [it’s fun.]

Matariki Day at Paihia School

Last week on Thursday it was Matariki day. We had the choice to either go down to the beach and watch the stars at 6.00 am, Most kids did that but I didn’t. We had a man who came and did some games with us. Taunaha asked some kids to come do some planting, she said we could have buddies, my buddy was my best friend Alexis. The first plant we planted was a Manuka, I think the next plant we planted was Nikao. After we did a couple of hours of playing and planting we had a huge shared lunch. The whole school was so full, but my class was still eating, after lunch the inquiry groups that had to cook were cooking, and we got to eat them all [they were so yummy]. My group made pancakes, another group made waffles and a another group made donuts. Matariki day was so fun.

Last week on Tuesday Paihia School went down to Waitangi to do stuff with Matariki. It was so fun, my two favourite games were, the one with the the shell and you had to shake the shell with a bell in it, I also liked the game called matou maui. We got to plant trees and make manu aute made out of nikau . I loved that day it was much more better then doing work.
