During the last two weeks of term we were learning about Matariki. Te Rōpū Kura Pounamu, Te Rōpū Whakaute, and Te Rōpū Wawata learnt about many different versions of the stories on how Matariki began. We sang songs and also learnt about how people celebrate Matariki. We ended the term by making our very own Matariki kites. We had to draw the seven stars on them and then fold them carefully to make the kites. Then we got to fly them, it was loads of fun!
This year we are doing phonics in our homerooms. Kiwi class looks at two letters and their matching sounds every week. Weka and Pukeko classes work together on one letter of the week. Each week we have a letter of the week wall where we display all the things we can find that begin with our letter of the week. Last week our letter was H and we had some fun having Harlin Haines wearing a hat on our h wall. Too cute not to share! This week our letter is J so get your thinking caps on Weka and Pukeko classes, what words do you know that start with J?
