Friday 12th May
In the past couple of weeks in Maori our focus has been numbers. We started looking at numbers 1-10 and found that if we learnt these well it is much easier to do higher numbers. Today we even looked at number 100 and 1000! We played a game where we had to match up the cards with the correct Maori word and English number or picture card. Last week we also played a game of bingo which was quite tricky. We are getting very good with our Maori numbers.

Rippa
We were very lucky to have a beautiful afternoon today so we decided to get outside for some Rippa practice. The whole school made the most of the sun and joined in too. We started with a game of Rippa Rush. This was where we had to try run from one end of the field to the other without the ‘taggers’ ripping our tags off. It was very exhausting but a lot of fun! We then practiced our skills with a couple of games. This was great preparation for when the Year 3-8 attend the Rippa Tournament in a few weeks time.

Whanau afternoon
Today we had our Whanau afternoon. This included having a picnic lunch with our families, sharing our inquiry projects that we had been working on last term, and playing some games. Everyone had done a terrific job with their presentations and it was great that we were able to share all our hard work. It was awesome to see all the parents at our Whanau afternoon. The children especially loved the adults joining in on the games. Thanks for coming!

ANZAC
Yesterday we had a visit from Hamish McCallum who came to talk to the school about ANZAC Day and New Zealand’s involvement in World War 1. Today we spent time putting in the crosses of soldiers who died in the war. The 6 big crosses at the front are those of Ex- Waiwera South School students who died in war. We stood behind the crosses and observed 2 minutes silence in remembrance of these soldiers with our flag at half mast. Thank you to Hamish for coming and sharing some of his knowledge with us.
