Bucklands Beach Primary School (Tāmaki Makaurau) Year 6 ākonga in Room 19 participated by attending (live online) te Petihana Reo Māori 50th Anniversary.

This week students chose to either make kowhaiwhai pattern bookmarks, make poi from the resources they have at home or do some craft activities focused on koru patterns, tiki and/or Muri Paraoa. Some students have also been taking part in online Kapa Haka lessons from youtube.

Room 14 continued to enjoy sharing the Karakia to start our day, each day it was led by a different student. We also read about myths and legends, then wrote our own.

My New Entrant class are learning the days of the week, months of the year, numbers to 10 and writing about sea creatures in Te Reo Māori.

Room 1 used traditional Maori measurements( Inenga) to measure items around our house.

Room 4 have been practising and learning using the Toku Reo site, the slide 'Nga Tohu o Tawhirimatea' and we did a kahoot to check our learning. Kapai to mahi Ruma Wha! ! !

Ruma tekau mā rua read the story of Māui me te Rā. I panuihia e mātou tetahi korero mo Māui me te Rā.

Room 5 is a brand new New Entrant class which started during lockdown and we celebrated by singing waiata while keeping the rhythm with the ti rakau we made, reading Maori myths and creating taniwhas.

Room 17 have been using Te Reo in their online learning this week. They kōrero with each other about their feelings, practice the Karakia and Waiata, using macrons when writing Te Reo words and have have access to different creative activities such as making poi & kowhaiwhai pattern bookmarks.

Room 16 made rakau sticks online using whatever materials they had, magazines, newspapers, paper towel rolls etc. We watched a you tube clip with the waiata E Papa Waiari which showed children using rakau sticks. We are now creating a class video with each child demonstrating their skills.
