Yasmin: This is my Christmas tree. It is tessellated. If you cut it in half it is a reflection as well.

What whānau and tuakana/ teina means to us!

Orla: In my class people have helped and I have helped other people we are a whānau that means we help and work together the younger help us because they might have learnt things in a different class but sometimes if we have learnt something already and they haven’t they would help us and we would help then and that would benefit all we work as a whānau. For example if I didn’t hear what Nicola said someone else will help me. When I get stuck because I read the question wrong someone will correct my mistake so it will mean I can try again. I helped my brother when he started he didn’t know who anyone was so I let him play with me. We work as a whānau at Worser Bay school.

Yasmin: In my class people have helped me. At Worser Bay, we are whānau. We help each other even if they're younger they can still help us, for example when I loose things, younger kids and my friends are always helping me. That means even if they're younger than me they can still be my tuakana. When people need my help I help people, for example if someone is stuck and they need an idea I help them get an idea. Sometimes I'm a teina and sometimes I'm a tuakana. I am tuakuna for the whole school by organising events for school.

Nell: 

Tuakana- helped someone 

I helped Isabel when she was upset. 

I helped Emelia to learn how to model a dog. 

Teina - getting helped I got helped by Emelia and Isabel when I was scared about the art celebration. 

I got helped by the ukulele group to learn the ukulele when I didn’t know any chords.

Red and Black Warriors: Arts Celebration

We are very proud of our students. The whole show was student led. They wrote all of the songs and raps. They made the music, danced, sang, and all worked hard to put this together. They also added a movie using Green Screen and Garage band. What an amazing show!

The Diaries of our School.....

Today in a Quick Writer, we wrote diary entries from inanimate objects around our school. We were trying to understand and empathise how different objects might feel! Check these out....

Morning Tea Time PALS

Today at Morning Tea it was very rainy, so we went up to Autahi and played with them.

Megan and Chris played a game of HEADS DOWN, THUMBS UP and the Megan kept getting picked!

Joni and Greta played a medical game with some of the little kids. All of the kids used their imagination. We had fun pretending to be little pets and humans. There were quite a few cats, and two horses!

We are growing our Leadership by helping the juniors and by spending time with the youngest kids in the school we are practicing our patience. Because younger kids have a fresh imagination, you never know what they are going to do so it requires lots of patience!

We are learning how to work WITH the little kids rather than bossing them around. We liked watching the kids play and understand things about their personalities and anything really about them.

We enjoyed just going down there and getting to see the classroom where we started off at school.
