Scott's literacy group has been exploring ways to present to an audience what they have been learning.
One group has been working on a poem about Uira/Lightning.
They have spent time sharing their ideas and have begun to work on a haka. More on this soon.
Another group have been learning about the Maori gods. They are beginning to plan a movie or possibly a trailer.

Wig Wednesday
On Wednesday the 21st of June the Child Cancer Foundation is doing a Wig Wednesday.
Everyone will wear a wig to school and do a gold coin donation to Child Cancer Foundation.
It is for the kids who had lost their hair during treatment.
There will be a donation bucket at each base group.
By Steph
This event is very exciting as it is becoming an annual event! Wear your favourite wig, bring a gold coin and lets support Child Cancer Foundation.

Ko te aha tenei ra?
This is our daily calendar that we are using to start our day. Soon we will be learning to ask "What is the weather like?" in Te Reo.
We have been learning how to ask and answer questions in Te Reo. Our phrases this term are:
Ko te aha tenei ra? Ko te aha tenei marama?
(What is the day today?) (What is the month?)
Last term we became really confident in asking how someone was feeling and knowing how to answer ourselves. We are persevering to keep using this phrase in Tautoru everyday.
It would be so whakamataku (awesome) if we all give it a go at home. Our challenge is to try and ask/answer one phrase in Te Reo everyday at school and at home.
Below is a pronunciation sheet to help you get started at home. Learning Te Reo is tonnes of ngahau (fun).
Measuring in centimetres.
Neon Day
Thursday 1 June, what a great day!
Everyone stood out because they were wearing neon clothes. We had a awesome parade with awesome winners. We hope to do it again next year. By Mia and Molly
