Introducing ourselves- Te Reo with Whaea Carol

 Koia kei a koe Ruma Rua tekau ma rua! Good on you Room 22! 

Today we practised how to introduce ourselves using our mihi. Whaea Carol was so impressed with everyone that we received a certificate.

Kia ora Ruma 22 whanau- Google Meet

I would just like to say a very big THANK YOU to all of the students who managed to join us for our first ever Google Meet! It was very exciting and challenging at the same time. I really enjoyed seeing your faces and listening to what you had to share. If for whatever reason you couldn't make the meeting yesterday, I am sorry that we missed you. 

I am really excited to see you all when you return to school. 

Ka kite ā tērā wiki- See you next week!

Manaakitanga and Google Meet

 I am super excited to have a meeting with my Ruma 22 whanau tomorrow beginning at 11 am. Keeping in line with our class challenge, here are some expectations that we must all strive to follow.

Just like in class when we have a minute to talk about our weekend, tomorrow you will have 30 seconds to share a message with your Ruma 22 whanau. 

You could;

Share a joke

Talk about something you have done while learning at home.

A book you have read.

Share an encouraging message with your whanau.

Success depends on everyone sharing and showing Manaakitanga- 'We can do this whanau'

Mahi Toi- Art time

 Have you heard of Pointillism? It is a art technique invented by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.

We first decided what we would like to draw. The criteria was that the animal or insect had to be native to New Zealand. 

To learn more about this style watch this youtube video (just the first 2 minutes and 30 seconds)
