Maori Language week

On Thursday Room 10 went over to First Years Preschool to present our Te Reo maori books that we had prepared in the previous weeks. The books had colours, animals and numbers all in Te Reo. The kids really enjoyed the books and it was a good way to celebrate Maori Language Week as a community.

On Thursday Room ten visited First Years Preschool. We had been planning this for a few weeks, but decided to go during this week as it was rather special, it was Maori Langauge Week. During class time, we had been making Te Reo booklets as part of our Te Reo learning. We also learnt 3 songs and shared them too. It was a great trip and it was also awesome to see the faces of the kids light up when we showed them our booklets.

First Years Preschool visit

This weeks poem was about spring personified. Personification is when something is given human like qualities. The students wrote their own poems, focusing on using active verbs and personification. We tried presenting them on ADDTEXT, a new site we are learning to use, so here are some examples...

Rights songs DANCE

We turned our rights songs into dances. The students had to add different elements of dance and movement to try and share a message or story of what they think the message to the listener is.

Here are two examples of what we have seen so far...
