Researching successful New Zealanders

This afternoon we spent some time in groups researching about successful New Zealanders.  We have been learning how to use key words to find out the most important pieces of information from what we read and write about the facts in our own words.  We used internet sites and books to search for new information.  

Sports Extravaganza

What a fantastic day we had yesterday at the extravaganza!  Tomorrow we will begin publishing some of our writing about the day onto the blog.  Make sure you check out the writing section to read about some of the fun sporting activities we got to participate in.

Calendar Art

Today we worked on our kiwiana art!  We are creating paintings that can be turned into calendars for our friends and families.  It has been very tricky trying to use a paintbrush to add detail to our pictures.

Marae Visit

Room 6 had a fantastic visit to the marae on Thursday.  It was very special to be welcomed onto the marae and we really enjoyed learning some different skills while we were there.  We were able to have a go at flax weaving, poi, maori games, martial arts with the rakau, and we listened to some great stories!
