Life Education Visit

We have had a great two days with Harold in our school.  We have learnt about how we can boost people and how we might bug people.  We have also learnt about what we can do to keep ourselves above the line.

Passion Project

 We have been starting to look at what we are passionate about.  Here are a few of our ideas so far about what we are passionate about.  We have learnt that passion is when you are excited, inspired and challenged by something.

Librarian Visit

Krystel from the Westland District Library 

We were lucky enough to have Rauhine and Krystel from the Westland District Library come to class today and share a story with us.  

Krystel read us Kowhai and the Giants.  This is a New Zealand Book Award book.  We then did a craft activity and had to make a tree and leaves. 

Ruma Tui really enjoyed making their tree.  We had many different shaped trees just like you would see in a forest.

We also learnt about when we are out walking in the bush we could collect some seeds and plant them to grow more trees for us to enjoy.

Don't forget to look for seeds when out walking.

Story of Poutini and Waitaiki

Here is the story of Waitaki and Poutini that has been retold by the Junior School.  They all decided and made up the actions to go with the story.  Ruma Tui students learnt their lines and did a marvellous job of speaking.  Enjoy Kaniere School juniors performance.
