Te Reo Māori with Whaea Francis

Room 6 loves going to Te Reo with Whaea Francis! It is amazing to learn new information using a different language, and we always have fun when we go.

Some of the things that Whaea Francis has taught us are Matariki stars and some of the history, Te Reo and how far Māori people have come through keeping the Reo alive, and we've even used Kupu to translate our own sentences.

We have even been able to work in collaborative groups, sharing ideas and learning new information each time.

Thank you Whaea Francis for having us!

Kindness and Kaitiakitanga

This week in our CyberSmart lesson, we watched Oat the Goat, discussed how we can be kind and things that we can do to be kind.

In last weeks assembly, Mr Burt's korero was 'wheoritia te atawhai - make kindness go viral'. We found that kindness is contagious and if we spread kindness where we can, the world can be a much happier place.


                      

Describing a setting

Room 6 is learning how to write about setting. We are using descriptive words to make our writing sound more interesting. We are also making sure to describe accurately so that when the audience is reading our writing, they get a picture in their head that is similar to the one in the writers.

We hope you enjoy!

Kia pai te kotahi in Room 6!

At Point England School, our kōrero for this term (and the year) is 'Kia pai te kotahi' which means better together. Room 6 have been finding different and effective ways to work together.

One task that we did in class was making up games. We had to get into groups and create a game using ideas from our teammates.

Watch this video to find out how one of the games went!

Table Discussions - Respect

Every Friday, Room 6 has been having table discussions. Our teacher gives us a question and we answer it the best we can. We thought we would discuss one of the kōrero that Mr Burt talked about in our assembly. The question we were given was 'why is it important that we show respect?' Here are a few of our responses.

We are very excited to shortly begin our new class blogging programme and hope to build our confidence and our understanding of Learn Create Share over the year.

We are ready as a class to connect, collaborate, support our cybersmart learning, and utilise our classroom blog as a powerful tool with you and hope that you will find it engaging and inspiring through reading and writing the comments we make and those you leave behind on our class (and in time) individual blogs.  

By using Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu we will harness our understanding of Learn, Create, Share and we are confident that with an authentic audience who will regularly comment, the learning we are sharing will develop too.

Welcome to our Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu team...we are so excited to get to know you and share our learning. We hope that we can create new ideas to support our connections and collaborations together.
