Te Wiki o te Reo Maori, a wonderful way to start Term 3.

Winter definitely was here for the beginning of term but that didn't stop Tui Class starting back at school with big smiles and getting straight back into the school and our activities.

It was Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori for the first week and we had lots of lovely people coming into class to teach us some new skills.

It was a very special day on the first day back, we welcomed Mia and Roman to Tui Class.

 Jen and Jolie from the Settlers Museum came into show us some taonga from pre-settlers time.

Tom and Olivia practice with their rakau. Maybe you could show your Canadian family what to do Tom.

 Whaea Gabrielle and Matua Matt taught us some waiata and a great game Huri Atu, Huri Mai to help us with our reo. It was lots of fun.
 Pania and Hinemoa also came into teach us rakau. They thought we were faster than Kakapo in leaning the actions!
 Look here's Mia and Roman straight into learning how to read. What Terrific Tuis.
 Father Albano is a regular visitor to Tui Class, most Wednesdays he comes over to help us with our reading and writing. We love talking to him as we work on our alphabet activities.
 We were so proud of Oscar this week at writing time. He wrote his story all on his own and really fast! He was feeling very proud too as he shared it with us. Way to go Oscar!
