Nga kiriata kiriahua mo te wiki o Te Reo Maori

Nau mai haere mai ki Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori.  In Room 2 we have been creating our own Maori Selfie videos.  For some of us, we have just worked on saying our pepeha and our whakapapa with confidence, for others we have been extending our reo by saying what we like and our goals.
First we wrote what we wanted to say in Maori, some of us used Maori dictionary for kupu (words) we did not know, but most of us asked Whaea Sally to help us.

Finally, we recorded our own selfie movie.  We recorded our kiriata in a variety of ways, some used green screen, some used screencastify and others just recorded using our chromebook camera.

Kia kaha ki te korero Maori, ahakoa he iti -give speaking Maori a go, no matter how little.

Bye bye Cross Country - Hello Fun Run

This year our school have decided to change up how we do our cross country event.  Instead, we had a fun run and it was smiles all around at the UK Rugby grounds.

We dressed up in our house colours and rode the train to our venue.  We received a lot of waves from the locals and a lot of beeps from the passing cars.

Our cross country track was the same however we had some fun run stations that we could choose to do as well.  There was a cargo net, some tires, pool noodles and Whaea Narelle finished off our race by throwing coloured powder at us.

We were given points for participation, dressing in our house colours, and received a whopping 500 points if our family member ran with us.

Making inferences with riddles - Who am I?

Room 2 has been looking at making inferences by creating our own 'who am I?' riddles. 
We learnt that inferences are made by looking for clues in a text and using our schema (our own background knowledge) to help us understand.  

Here are some of our own inference poems that we will share at our upcoming assembly this Thursday.
Can you solve our riddle?
