Wonder Project

In Te Ngahere yesterday two adults called Gustavo & Troy came into our classroom to teach us about something called Wonder Project. The reason why they came to our school was to teach us about the Wonder Project and science. The Wonder Project that our classroom is doing is science around rockets. Every Wednesdays in 7 weeks we get to have Gustavo & Troy helping us out. Yesterday was our first day learning about the Wonder Project. Thank you to Gustavo and Troy for joining our classroom yesterday, It was so amazing meeting them. It is very exciting that we get to make our own rockets. One thing I learned yesterday that I was surprised at was that there are red kiwi fruit in Kerikeri. I’ll do another blog post about the Wonder Project once I have created my rocket to share with you. Have you ever created a wonder project?

Te Reo Maori

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to recognise, understand and associated with games. So yesterday I had to get in a group of three because we all wanted to learn how to pronounce the words we got given correctly. Once we finished pronouncing the words we played a game of memory. So we got given printed paper with an image on it and words. After that we cut around them, mixed them around and placed them upside down. We all took turns but once we got a match we had to pronounce the word that matched the image and then say kia rite or rite tonu. The game kinda got a little bit boring so I went off with my teacher Whaea Chrissy and read a book called Nga Mahi Parakareka Kei te Marae which means fun at the marae. Do you like doing Te Reo Maori ?
