Remember these?

Yummy!!!

This morning we were very spoilt when Mrs Panther (Miss Panther's mum) brought in a whole plate of cream cakes for us to eat!

There were so many we shared with some of the other teachers in our syndicate!

Yum!

Thanks Mum!

Leave a comment underneath their blog post explaining what we have been doing in ART.

Kei te pānui i te reo Māori (Reading in Māori)

Ruma Waru have been hard at mahi (work) translating some Te Reo readers. 

   

We have been practicing using the correct pronunciation. Most of the time we got it right. 

First we picked out nga kupu (words) in te pukapuka (the book) that we already knew. 

For example: marae, tamariki, waiata, toru, haere mai, e noho

We then looked at the pictures and decided what we thought the words meant.

Some of us then practiced recording ourselves reading the stories using our ipad.

How do you think we did?

Kei te hiakai ahau! (I'm hungry!)

This term in Room 8 we have been learning how to use Te Reo to talk about Kai (food).

Do you like...?

We have learnt many new kupu (words) and we have begun learning how to ask and answer questions.

He pai ki a koe nga ropere? (Do you like strawberries?)

We can answer:

Ae, e pai ki ahau te ropere! (Yes, I like strawberries.)

Or:

Kaore, e pai ki ahau te ropere! (No, I don't like strawberries!)

This week we will be learning how to ask each other what we have in our lunchboxes...

Christmas Cheer (Well deserved and Needed for our School family)

It's a lovely Friday afternoon and we are using our newly acquired print making skills to create our own xmas paper.

We also have the Xmas carols in the background and we are belting out our favourite tunes.
