It was great to see our Year 7 & 8 students working together and embracing new learning during their Tū Mātau Ora sessions.
Last week Te Moana classes had some great sessions with the Pedal Ready crew and yesterday Te Motu classes got to experience Tū Mātau Ora, an organisation led by Pita Noanoa and Ness Mill that revitalises Kī o Rahi and other taonga tākaro (traditional Māori games) to educate and connect people with Māori culture.
To round off our Winter Olympics learning, we held a fun (and slightly silly!) Winter Olympics celebration on Friday. Buddy classes teamed up on the field before heading off to complete a circuit of activities. The events were loosely based on Olympic sports and included a slalom run, relays, a shoot-out, ‘ice’ hockey, “bobsled” skateboards, and even some very creative figure “skating” dances!
Congratulations to Kaea Keltie who won her 60m and 100m race and got 2nd in 100m! She also completed discus and competed in a relay. Well done 🙂
Check out these great examples of Haiku from our junior students in Room 10. They were very proud to invite me over to read me all their poems yesterday about the stormy weather.
