We have had so many exciting things going on.
In Room 3 this week we have been reading about Maui and how he harnessed Te Ra (the Sun). Te Ra is the centre of our solar system, which we are learning about at the moment. Thanks to Maui we get to enjoy Te Ra's beautiful warmth over a day.
Oasis and Lucy both wrote some beautiful stories about Te Ra and Maui. They used adjectives, and thought about the important details from the book. Both of these super star writers have their writing up on the Shining Stars board in class, if you would like to read it.
We talked about all the important things to remember when riding in the bus, as well as learning to safely cross the road. The most important thing is to look and listen!
Tamariki demonstrated their amazing road crossing skills on the Kura driveway.
Earlier in the week we had discussed with tamariki their favourite kaimoana, and how important it is to all of us who live in Mahia. We also discussed how much kaimoana we could gather legally and where from. Some of us were unsure of the answers to our questions so we decided to invite in someone who was an expert at looking after our kaimoana.
Nanny Sophie Dodd, Nanny Rae, and Craig Petherick came to speak to us about how to look after our Mataitai, and how much kai moana we can gather. Tamariki enjoyed listening to our visitors, and are very keen to look after kai moana so that it is still in the moana when they are adults. Thank you very much to our visitors for coming to share their information with us.
Next week we will be gathering some kaimoana and sampling it!
Enjoy your weekend whanau and be safe,
Mrs Hitchy and Room 3
