Gardening

Today we planted some veggies and flowers in the garden patches outside the senior school classes and our school library. We will be harvesting, taking care of the gardens and enjoy some fresh veggies from our gardens.
We will post some photos soon when our gardens start to bloom.

Whaikorero (Speech) about Matariki using Te Reo Maori

We have been learning to introduce ourselves using Te Reo Maori and we also wrote a small information speech about Matariki using Te Reo Maori. Some of us have created our videos using screencastify on our chromebooks. This is our first go at using Te Reo Maori so please keep that in mind and if you would like to give us some feedback to improve ourselves then please leave a comment. Thank you and we hope you enjoy our mahi.

Creating Pyramid Paper Diorama

Today in our class we are creating paper diorama's that are three dimensional and we will share our learning about Matariki on our diorama's we create in a group. 
For the past week or so we have been learning about Matariki in our class. We have really enjoyed learning about it and are doing some art this week to share our learning about Matariki. 
This is our screencastify showing us working on our diorama's. We used a video that had instructions on creating a pyramid diorama.
