We have learning this Matariki Jump Jam routine, and we are trying really hard to master some of the tricky moves!

Tautoko Waiata

Whaea Heneriata has been teaching us a waiata that praises others.






Taputapu rawa kee (x2) Terrific!

Ka mau te wehi! Awesome!

He toki koe! You are as sharp as an axe!

Kei runga noa atu koutou! You guys are really up there!

Parahutihuti ana te haere! You are going at top speed!

Ki wiiwii, ki waawaa! In this direction and that!

Anei raa eetahi kiiwaha. Here are some sayings.

Hei whakanui i te tangata. To celebrate / uplift the person.

Whakamaua kia ita. Hold fast to these.

Taputapu rawa kee!

We Are Learning To notice when things change.

Our learning this term is focused on "CHANGE".
The Room 1 children have been talking about how we need to wear warmer clothes seeing it is now Autumn/Ngahuru and is getting colder.
We have been taking great interest in the way the leaves on some trees change colour and fall to the ground. Our new words are DECIDUOUS and EVERGREEN.

We have been walking and playing in the Autumn leaves, collecting leaves and writing about our experience.



 

 

 

 
 

 

 
Picking up leaves and throwing them was great fun.
 

 
Some us liked hiding in the leaves.
