Mikaere - The story of Mataora rāua ko Niwareka and Tā Moko - Māori Tatooing

Kia ora, ko Mikaere tōku ingoa.

In pānui we have been learning all about Mataora and Niwareka. Mataora and Niwareka are two people that loved each other. In rūma 4 we have been learning about tā moko. Mataora was the first person to ever find out about tā moko. 

I created a slide about Mataora and Niwareka. We had to write 10 facts and find a picture to put in the middle. Here is my slide. 

Homai te arotakenga. Give me some feedback please. Thank you for looking at my slide.

A Super Fun Day! Rāapa 4th July

On Rāapa 4th July, we had a super fun day. We had manuhiri visit us from Te Waka Unua kura. We also ate lots of delicious kai, and had a fun afternoon reward for the whole school. 

Here are some things we liked best about the day.

Inanahi i  haere ahau ki te whare hakinakina. He pai ki ahau Te Waka Unua, our manuhiri . I te ahiahi it was ra rekareka. I did matariki art. It was amazing, me te harikoa.

Nā Arabella.

Inanahi i tae mai nga manuhiri o Te Waka Unua. He tino koi rātau kapahaka. He tino pai nga tamariki manuhiri. Kāore he pai ki ahau ētahi o ngā manuhiri. He tino tonotono ētahi tamariki i te futuporo, nā reira he tino tino ketekete ahau. I te mutinga o te fotu potoro, i haere rātou ki te kohanga reo maori. I te mutunga o te waka unua o te kapahaka,i haere rātou ki te whare kaumatua. Yesterday some visitors arrived from Te Waka Unua school. At the end of the day they went to a kohanga and an old people’s home.

Nā Shaun.

Te Pēpehā o Shaun

Ānei te pēpehā o Shaun. He tino kaha te reo o tēnei tama, engari, he tino tere hoki! Ata kōrero e tama! We are so impressed you have learnt your pēpehā so quickly and have even added a whakatauki at the start. Ka rawe! 

He aha te taima, Mr Wuruhi?

WALT (Kei te ako mātou ki te): ... tell the time in reo Māori and reo Pākehā. In pāngarau we've been learning how read hour time. We can do this in English and in Māori! We like playing 'He aha te taima, Mr Wuruhi?' - What's the time, Mr Wolf? 

Today we created a movie using iMovie and a book using BookCreator to share our learning. Which one do you like best???
