At the Jesus Meal

As part of the our Religious Education programme we have been learning about how Jesus lived as a child in Palestine and comparing it with how we live in Aotearoa-New Zealand. We dressed up in clothes that Jesus would have worn and we ate some of the food that Jesus would have eaten over 2000 years ago.

Playing Soccer

On February 25th we had loads of fun learning games to develop our soccer skills. We had to listen really carefully and follow the instructions. 

Taniwha Art Work

In Maori Language Week we read The Boy and the Taniwha by Ron Bacon and Taniwha by Robyn Kahukiwa. We made taniwha artworks using marker pen, crayon and black dye. 

Samoan Language Week

Talofa Lava from Room 2,

Last week we had lots of fun learning about Samoan language, food, dance and culture. Our shared book was called Lavalava by Lino Nelisi. After we read the book, we wrote stories about where we would wear a lavalava. We hope you enjoy reading them.

Koru Pattern Paintings

In Term 1, Room 2 looked at koru patterns as part of our ‘Identity’ topic. The Koru symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace. We found the koru in nature and in art forms, then used what we saw to design and paint our own koru art works. When we had finished we talked about each other’s koru paintings.
