Week 6 Term 2

We started the week with a visit to the Nelson Museum to learn more about Maori Myths and Legends. It was a great learning experience that was much enjoyed by adults and children. Take a look at this slide show to see some of what we got up to.
Myths and Legends at the Museum on PhotoPeach


In class we continued the myths and legends focus by acting out and writing our own versions of the Matariki 7 Star Fish legend. We then illustrated them using Tuxpaint on the computer. Check them out on our Kidzstuff blog.



One day mum told the little fish to not go out into the open seas. The giant is angry and you will get caught.Ryan 11.6.16


The Matariki celebrations continued on Friday when we shared Matariki activities with a whole Kowhai syndicate rotation including rakau sticks..........



......Maori string games.............

....and printing to make our own 7 Stars pictures.

  Now that we have been learning to use the camera it is lovely to see the children taking their own  pictures of their achievements.
Finally if you pop into class this week please take a look at our new display celebrating our learning about primary and secondary colours which we combined with adding numbers to 10.
