Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu

Literally translated - Write to me, write to others.  

 Ruma Tekau Ma Toru has joined in with Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu.

Each member of our class will be updating their blogs but also making a comment on other kura and their classrooms.  We are currently commenting on Tawhirimatea Class 2018 from Makaraka Kura.  Please check your child's blog regularly and make comments so they know their worked is being viewed by others.  Have a great day and welcome all other kura that we will be working alongside in sharing and learning from each other.    

Week One was shared with Makaraka School, Tawhirimatea Class 2018.  I will back date blog posts for you.  Our focus for all blogs will be Te Reo, so simple instructions and sentence structure will be our sharing.

Link to Speech Writing

Kaikohe West is preparing for the Rotary Speech Competition, so if your child is bringing home their speech, please take the time to listen to them and give them encouraging support.  Talking in front of others can be very nerve-wracking, so constructive feedback is really important.  Speeches will be held at the RSA in Kaikohe on the 20th June, commencing with a dinner and speeches begin at 6:45pm.  If your child is selected from our kura, you are more than welcome to participate in the event.
I will be posting a couple of our class speeches after the 6th June.

Have a great day.

Garden to table / Our journey so far.

Woo hoo, we are off on our journey with Gill to create the best Garden to Table Programme we can.  We have tried to involve our tamariki through each step, and some of it was hard work, hence the few that remained when the going got tough.  Anyway we are up to adding some levelling compound to the whare floor before we put in the new lino, so our kitchen area is still pretty much a week to two weeks away.  Special thanks to Tracey Miller for donating a fridge for our whare, and whaea Nicki for donating two big tables.  Can't wait to actually start making some kai to share with everyone.

WALT:  recognise who the speaker is, who I am, who the  person I am talking to is and who is that person over there.
