Maori Simon Says......

This term we have been learning a game called Maori simon says.......

This is how you play the game..

1.  You get a person to be the caller, then the caller has to say Maori words like Whakararaniga-Line up.  The players need to do what the caller says.

2.  If you don't so what the caller says you are out.

3.  Be hard on the people and do really hard words and the last person to stand is the winner

We hope you have fun :)

Wai Water Investigations

This week we are busy getting ready to present our water work to Room Four.  We have each chosen something we would like to learn more about and have designed and carried out our own investigations to find out the answers to our questions.  Some of the things we are learning about are: hydro electricity, the water cycle, science experiments and much more.  Room Four will come to visit us next Friday to see what we have been doing and then we will go and find out what they have been doing.  Here are some pictures of our afternoons work.

Yesterday we were very lucky to have a visit from Forrest's puppy Rose.  She is 12 weeks old and very bouncy and fun.  Here are some photos of her.

Today we wrote a report about life in Room Five.  This is what we came up with.

All About Room Five

Room Five is a class for Year 4’s and 5’s, which is part of the Senior Syndicate at Te Anau School.   There are 24 students in the class, 12 of them are girls and 12 of them are boys.  12 children are in Year 4 and 12 are in Year 5.  The teacher is Miss Calder.

We are arty, crafty, smarty and sporty.  During the day we learn Numeracy, Spelling, Writing, Reading and topic.  During topic we do experiments, Science, Sports and lots of other things.  The teachers choose a subject and we learn about it.  At the moment we are learning about water.

Te Anau School is at 181 Milford Road, Te Anau.  Te Anau is in Fiordland on the edge of Fiordland National Park.  Which is full of native bush, lakes, Takahe, Kiwi, fiords, mountains and waterfalls.

We are really good at caring for our environment.  Some of us are awesome swimmers.  Other things we are great at are numeracy, writing, reading, spelling, rugby, running, soccer, netball, squash, biking, water sports, basketball, dancing and much, much more.

Term One

We had an incredibly busy start to this year with loads of activities.  Particularly those based in, around and on the water.  Thanks to all of the parents who helped out with all of the wonderful activities.
