Te Papa Rocks!

We have had an amazing week in Room VH.  On Tuesday Resolution Syndicate visited Te Papa.  We learnt all about the powhiri.  Enjoy two reports from our news desk!


We learnt about the 9 stages of a powhiri and experienced each at the end of our visit with our educator Kahli.


This was such good preparation for our Takapuwahia Marae visit coming up later this term on Tuesday, 9th April.  You are most welcome to come along and join in this wonderful experience with us.

We had fun creating these and others but they are too big to put them all on the blog.  We enjoyed watching them together at the end of the day today.  Well done everyone - you were great reporters!

In Athletics this week we have practiced throwing discus and vortex.  It was fun to hear the vortex whistle and see them fly smoothly through the air.



Next week we have our senior athletics (Tuesday from 9.30 at Adventure Park) and junior athletics (Wednesday from 9.15 on our school field).  We encourage the kids to wear their house colours to make the events a fun and colourful sporting spectacle.  Check out the left side bar to see what house your child is in.

We had fun predicting this week.  We wrote interesting stories predicting what a story would be.  The stories the kids wrote were imaginative and entertaining.

Thanks for keeping up to date with the happenings in Room VH.  We love sharing our learning with everyone!
