Keeping Ourselves Safe

We learnt so many things about being safe during KOS. We know that it is really important to tell someone if something bad happens to us, if something 'yucky' pops up on our computer screen, if someone touches us in a place on our body that they are not allowed to and we know never to give out personal information to someone that we have met online.

We learnt about TAR - which means: Think, Ask, Remember.
We learnt about STAR - which means: Stop, Think, Act, Report.

Here are some of the posters we have made that show what we think is important to share. Some of us are still working on our posters.

Maori Language Week

E Papa Waiari from Ham East on Vimeo.

During Maori Language Week we learnt how to use rakau to E Papa Waiari, we also did some amazing art and we even learnt some cool hand games from Room 8, Melville Intermediate. Kallista and Jaedyn know some hand games too!

In The Beginning

During Maori Language Week, Room 10 read the story In the Beginning. We loved the illustrations and the text so decided to recreate it and turn it into a movie. It was a whole class effort but a big thank you to Emily and Sydney for the work that you did to make the final product.

We hope that you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Our Dramatic Bridges!

We have learnt so much this term about bridges. We now know many different types and how they are built. We know the construction that goes on beneath them and we know what helps to keep them stable above the road.

We have learnt the meaning of words like: girders, span, piers, tied, abutments and many more.
We made ourselves into bridges too. We wonder if you can tell which bridges we are?

Tane Mahuta and Matariki

We had such a great week preparing for Tane Mahuta Day and Matariki.

We did lots of great research in our groups about both topics finding out loads of interesting things.

Did you know that Tane Mahuta is the name of the giant kauri tree in a forest in New Zealand? Some members of our class have even seen it!

Here is a photo of how big it is ...... Wow!!

We also found out some other interesting facts about Tane Mahuta
