This term our concept is 'knowing' - iho
We had to go home and talk to our parents and find information in regards to our pepeha. A pepeha informs other people of where in New Zealand we come from. This is very important to the Maori people because we are connecting back to our ancestors - our Turangawaewae (standing place)
We have published our pepeha and located our iwi or tribe on the New Zealand map. You can see the string linking our pepeha to where our family comes from.
We did a portrait of our buddy in Room 10. Then each class member wrote things about themselves and shared this with the class. This activity was lots of fun. Our wall is coming together quite well. The learners in Room 10 put these up on the wall. Didn't they do a fantastic job?
To celebrate our first week of school - Whaea Sandra helped us to make 'waffles'. It was lots of fun because we got to make help mix the batter and then each person placed this in the waffle machine. Edyn and Keisha cut up strawberries and then put blueberries and chocolate chips into a bowl.
Whaea Sandra placed waffles on plates in a pile and then put on the mix and drizzled it with maple syrup and a sprinkle of icing sugar. It looked delicious. We didn't have a camera to take photos so we will leave it to your imagination. What a great start back to school.
Chinese New Year - we made dragons, these are so colourful. We stuck these on our back window and door area.
