Jade's Coded Video

Te Moana's Pet and Flower Show Day

We had a fantastic Pet Show Day last Friday. Throughout the week we had planned creative articles to create such as sand saucers, vaseline saucers, aqua jars, wild flower and grasses decorations and hunting out some unusual containers to arrange flowers in. Beforehand some of us had produced some some needlework by making oven cloths. On Thursday we made gingerbread men and we decorated them with a variety of edible goodies. Some of us also made some amazing tasty truffles.

Gala Day Video

W.A.L.T. create a video using trailer on our i-pad. We had to ensure that we spelt all our words correctly the first time as it is tricky and time wasting to correct them. We had some of our photos deleted about our Gala day which was really disappointing but any way our creative learning was more about the process rather than the final product. The most important thing was that our class learnt so much about creating products to sell for profit at our Gala. We made $670 which was FANTASTIC for our camp to Cooper's Beach later in the month.

Teina /Tuakana Buddy Writing

On Monday we all wrote a reader with our buddies. We had a list of the words that they could read and learnt about the structure of the text they are able to read.  We both had fun together inserting images to support our younger buddies reading, as we do not need pictures now to help us read our novels. Our buddies loved their stories choosing them to their normal home readers. It is amazing how much we have learnt to read in three years.

There's NO "I" in TEAM

  • Team Doesn't have an “I”  in it.    
  • Include others
  • When there is some one that is left out go to them and ask them if they want to play with us
  • Do not leave others out.
 W.A.L.T.  include others in our games. We are learning that we need to work together as a team, share skills and strategies so we can win fairly and everyone can participate. In life we need to make great relationships with others in teams, individually and in classes.

  • Characters
  • Bunny
  • Sneaky fox number 1
  • Sneaky fox number 2
  • Hedgehog
  • Tweety the Boss
On Sunday morning bunny’s eggs were missing from her burrow and the two sneaky foxes had taken her eggs to the boss. Then hedgehog came and looked for the eggs and they found them lying by Tweety the boss of the two Sneaky Foxes.
“Give the eggs to me now please!’’ “O.K.” “ Sorry for taking your eggs, we were just jealous that you have eggs and we don’t.” “ You just need to have some like me one day.”

Kaitlin and Breeze's Relationship Presentation-"Choose Your Friends Wisely"

W.A.L.T make a puppet show  presentation to show relationships. Our relationship topic was about stealing or taking other people’s things. We are learning about apologizing for stealing things that do not belong to you and not taking other people’s things in the first place. We used puppets for our characters. In life we need to make better relationships.

Choose your friends wisely

I.A.L.T. do a puppet show that shows not to steal and what is also a relationship video. I have really enjoyed using the puppets for the puppet show. I found it really fun by making our puppet show up. Next time I will have to practice more at home or somewhere where it is quiet.
I am also going to record me saying my part so I could get them all right.

Shay and Marks Puppet Presentation

W.A.L.T have a good relationships. We used puppets as our characters. Our title was Don’t trust Bullies. In life we need to work individually and together as a team.

Mere and Vaughan's Puppet Relationship Presentation"Don't Steal Other People's Property"


Don’t Steal Other People's Property?


W.A.L.T have a good relationship. We  used  puppets as our characters. Our Title was “Don’t take other people's property.” In life we need to work individually and as well as together as a team.

AJ and Imogen's "Keep Your Hands to Yourself"

“Keep your Hands to Yourself!”

W.A.L.T. understand relationships and use puppets to show what our relationship was about. Imogen and I created a puppet show called “Keep Your Hands to Yourself”. It was about teaching people to not hurt each other and not touch other people at all when they don’t want to be touched by not invading their space. Also how to get along with each other.  If you are kind and caring you will have more friends. Next time I am going to try to make it in 30 secs. I found it frustrating trying to create a video in such a short time.

Relationship Presentation using Lego "It's Cool to Help!"


W.A.L.T. express their ideas, needs, wants, and feelings appropriately and listen sensitively to other people and affirm them. We learnt to help each other, we also learnt that you should do it very often. Our title is the mighty battle. My characters are Knight one and Knight two. My presentation with lego is about to help each other.

Kapa Haka Recount by Zara


Super, Duper Māori

On an action packed day (Wednesday,) Te Moana lined up like the flash. Since it was the start of the day, the time was nine o’clock. We headed out the door and like a balloon we popped up in the whare. Mrs Lindsay forgot that she would show us a video of the special Kapa Haka kids performing. It was Te Reo language week so each teacher set up a little maori game, quiz and more.

We had groups of people throughout the school my group was karaka tahi! First we walked into Te Moana and we repeated māori sentences and what maori words match up with pictures. That was one out of two because I had two favourites. My favourite bit was that In the group I got most of the maori pictures correct..

The next game we played was with our Principal Mrs Lindsay. She took the idea from another teacher. We played bingo with numbers in Māori. We had bottle caps and those were the things that we put on our sheet if we had  a number on it that mrs lindsay called out. My favourite part of the bingo was that everybody was having fun and caring for each other even thow I was a little bit competitive.

Another fun game that we played was with whaea Roni and Alisha ( Kapa Haka teachers ). First we did e- rere- taku-poi, you guessed it!, with a poi. Afterwards we practised how to do some cool moves with the poi, which was my second favourite game. I liked how we got to practise e- rere- taku-poi.

The last game I was able to do before the bell rang was labeling māori objects. We had to draw a picture and label the objects in the picture with the maori word for the object. I drew a moon, mountain and fish. That activity was short because the morning tea bell rang before I even got to label my drawing, but other than that that activity was fun. My favourite bit was that we got to draw amazing pictures.  

Then it came to an end and there was no more activities and games to play but in the end it was fun but I would stick to doing a normal programme in the morning and I’m lucky that it's only a week. It was a great experience and I learnt so much.  It was fun as. Kapai!

Kaavin and Calais' Relationships Presentation-Don't Be Selfish"

Don’t be selfish
W.A.L.T.  - we were learning about not being selfish and we made a puppet show about sharing with new people.  When we did our puppet show I was nervous, then we did our show, we did it for exactly 30 seconds.  I made my puppet show with Calais.  Next time I will need to speak louder so that you can hear me better on the video.

Zara and Nikara's Relationship

I.A .L.T.  be thankful for who you are. We are learning that everybody is unique in their own ways, that we need to appreciate others In life. we need to make great relationships with others, individually and in classes.

The bully who was jealous.
I.A.L.T. be thankful for who I am.
I was petrified because it was a new experience which I never like other people see it.
I found it really fun, the puppets were really fluffy.
Next time I definitely make the puppet show 30 seconds short.
I am going to make it more magnificent
