Teingoa's Tamarereti Story

This term we have been learning a lot about the story of Tamarereti. Teingoa retold the story in his own words. Well done Teingoa. 

A long  time ago there was a village next to a lake. When it was very dark people didn't go outside because they could not see. But there was a boy called  Tamarereti who was a brave warrior. One morning he was so hungry. He went fishing and got lots of fish. Then the wind went away so he just went to sleep and waited for the wind to come back. Later the wind came back and took Tamarereti to a different island. It was getting dark so he ate the fish and after he was finished he did not know where he was and he knew

the taniwha would come and eat him.

He took some shiny pebbles and threw them in the sky so he could see. When he was back at home he went to sleep. Then he woke up when it was morning because someone was at the door. It was Ranginui. He came and said to Tamarereti “thank you for lighting up the sky.” The end.

Hendrix Ran Away!

Last week Hendrix applied his knowledge of prepositions to create his own story with picture of himself. He used screencastify to record his story. Great work Hendrix, Room 14 and Miss Davis are proud of you.

This we learnt about prepositions and we wrote a story based on our book.

A fun last day of term!

Today Room 14 had the movie and popcorn they had earned with all their hard work this term. We started off the day by icing biscuits and decorating them with some lollies. We also decorated cups for our popcorn. After morning tea we watched the movie Meet the Robinsons. This movie linked to our term theme of Now That Is Thinking! We enjoyed thinking about what is possible when we think, create and keep moving forward. We also learnt that we often learn more for failure than success. If something doesn't work the first time as creative inventors we must keep trying and designing to achieve success.

Orienteering

This term Room 14 have had orienteering for Kiwisport. We learnt all about using maps and had fun running around the school to find exciting new things.


Today it was raining so we put together cut up maps in small groups. We all enjoyed orienteering and hope we get the chance to do it again soon.

Hula Dancing

 Today we had a wonderful group of dancers come from a school in Hawaii. It was great have a group so passionate about sharing their culture with us. We hope you enjoy the movie as much as I enjoyed the show.
