Maori Language Week - Challenge 4!

Today's challenge was to say goodbye.

The person leaving says e noho ra.
The person staying replies with e haere ra.

Today the Titans made a few videos to show what we had learnt.  We had 3 ideas so we decided to do them all, just because we could!  We are getting quite good at filming and iMovies.

Hope you enjoy!

Computer Raffle

The Titans and the Meerkats are raffling off a computer to raise money to get us to the Google Summit.  This is happening in week 4 and it's at Hobsonville Point Primary School so it's a long bus ride.

Tickets are $2 and we are selling them every morning before school by the PE shed.  Please come and see us if you want to be in the draw to win!

Maori Language Week

Miss J showed us a book today which related to our challenge for Maori Language Week.  It's called Kei Te Pehea Koe?  The illustrations are pretty cool.  Here is a youtube video of the book if you want to have a look. It's a bit opera-ish and plinky plonky, but the story and illustrations are cool!

Maori Language Week Challenge 2

Today's challenge was to ask someone how they are, and to reply to them that you are good.

Kei te pehea koe?  (How are you?)
Kei te pai (I am good)

Here is our video by Sela, Ella and Tiana (with a guest appearance by Salena)

PUZZLE OF THE WEEK!

Ok let's try this for fun:

Work out the answer to the puzzle.  Write a comment when you think you have the answer.  Right answers on Friday get a prize!  Good luck :-)

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori - Challenge 1

Our challenge today was to use tena koe, tena korua and tena koutou.

You say tena koe when you are saying hello to one person.

You say tena korua when you are saying hello to two people.

You say tena koutou if you are saying hello to three or more people.

Here is our video for today.

Reading at home

The race is on to fill up our reading at home chart in Room 22.

A good way to do that at home is to read books from this website.  If you read a story and have told someone about what happened (or read it with someone) then write it in your notebook and get it signed and bring it to class!

Flight

Our topic this term is flight.  We are specifically focusing on our kite and the story behind it, but there are also many other ways we could think about flight.

Have a look and see what we thought of.  If you like you can add your own (but add your name so we can credit you with the idea!).

Hard work and deliveries!

Today Miss J got a delivery of brand new basketballs, netballs, soccer balls and rugby balls.  They were sitting in boxes and she needed us to count them to make sure they were all there.  Then she tried to make us do writing - and well that wasn't as exciting as all the new PE gear.  So we made a deal - as long as we finished our writing and publishing we were allowed to pump up all the balls.  We had such a busy morning but we all finished what we needed to.  Miss J let us play with the basketballs outside - just to make sure they worked properly!!
