Korowai Designs

Yesterday was Matariki, the Maori New Year Celebration.  To celebrate this the homework task for the Kahikatea Syndicate was to design their own Korowai that represents them. The korowai is a traditional Maori cloak that is worn during times of celebration. Three students from Room 5 made actually made their Korowai.   Well done Lucy, Ben and Willem.  Come and check out many of the amazing designs in the hallway outside our classrooms.

Diorama Exhibition

Wednesday was the day of the diorama exhibition. Some kids parents from our class came to see our diorama's.We lined the desks up and put our diorama's on the desk.  Our buddy class also came and had a look at our dioramas.  Our parents thought the exhibition was fantastic and we were really proud to show them the result of all our hard work.

Having fun with bubbles!  This week we were learning to write cinquain poems.  We wrote a cinquain poem about bubbles.

We have worked hard on our dioramas for inquiry.  These show the habitat of our animal that we have researched.  They also show the enterprising feature that we came up with to help the survival of our animal. We look forward to sharing these with friends and family on Wednesday.

On Friday we had a massage circle as a whole class.  Many of us have also enjoyed setting up our own massage shops out in the playground!
