Samoan Language Week

Afio mai to Samoan language Week. 

The cultural leaders opened the week with their national costume and dance.

In room 6 we have been exploring the Samoan Cultural with general facts. We searched for our fact card around the room and collected information for our Jigsaw Reading Hunt.

Next our Samoan experts in class gave us a lesson on greetings and phrases in Samoan.

Then we moved onto counting to ten in Samoan for math. Before finishing our math session with a clapping game in Samoan.

Room 6 presented their learning about not being a bystander at their assembly on Friday week 3.
In week 3 all school around New Zealand made a stand by wearing pink.
PINK stood for Peaceful, Inclusive, Noble and Kind. Our assembly was a success and we all had fun..  

Maori Verbs

In room 6 we have been learning verbs in Maori (action words.)
The question is "Kei te aha ia?" which means what is S/he doing ia is the pronoun for both he and she.

We have matched verbs up, filled in crosswords and played Simon Says.

To My Mother

                                     


My Handprint

Here is my handprint,                     
Five fingers in all,         
Futside they are short,
But the middle is tall.

You will find them on windows,
You can find them on walls,
They will make a big mess,
For something so small,

One day I will grow,
And leave them no more,
My handprints will be missed,
Of that, I am sure,
             
So here is one now,
That you can't wipe away,
My present to you,
This Mother's Day.

The Ascension of the Lord

In RE we learnt about the Ascension of Jesus. At Galilee Jesus told his disciples to take his Gospel to the whole world. He promised to send the Holy Spirit to be with us always and then he  returned, in glory to his Father in Heaven.
We used crafts to show how Jesus went body and soul to Heaven.
