Duffy Theatre 2019

Duffy Theatre comes to Kaikohe West School 2019

Whainga Ako:  to listen and participate when asked at our Duffy Theatre Production

This is the Duffy Crew.  When they first started they introduced themselves and then we sang the Duffy song while he played the guitar.

We were all sitting down at Tawaraunui.  The sun was shining in our face.

These are some of the characters, the man is Duffy in his muscle costume and the fat round lady is the "Dismantler".

This is Duffy's cousin Sam.  Duffy was visiting Sam when he was sucked into the Magical Bricks game that her grandmother had invented.  Duffy had to find a way out of the game.  He had to solve the code.

Duffy asked the tamariki to help him work out the code on the magical bricks before the Dismantler came and wrecked the word.
What was the word?

Once they had worked out who invented the game, they had to solve the code for getting into and out of the game and it had nothing to do with the grandma's glasses.

So Whetu was the grandma's name, now just to try and remember what she did to access the game.

The codebreaker came in and tried to break up all the letters, but then we knew that it was actually the dance that grandma did that could get us back out.  

Finally we both did the dance and escaped back to our own home where our Mum was waiting for us.

Update on our Mural

Here's an update on our Mural, we are just about finished, but need to get a very tall ladder to finish off the top.  Unfortunately, we don't allow tamariki up that high, so looks like this will have to wait for the school holidays to be completed.  

A mural is born

Northlands Year 4 - 6 mixed Team League 2019

Wow, what a day.  A couple of Room 13 tamariki were lucky to travel down to Tikipunga today to compete in a Rugby League Competition.  
The day started out with an hour trip down to Tikipunga then a full on 5 game onslaught from some awesome teams around the Whangarei District.  The experience was so worth the effort for these League crazy crew.  We had such a hard out day, all the players went hard and still had energy to burn.  Fanstastic behaviour and manners and all were followed the fairplay rules.  You rock Jamie and Miah, ran and ran and tackled and tackled and had a blast.

Get well soon Arthur, we are thinking of you, and our love and aroha goes out to Whaea Lucinda, who is by his side during this time.  God speed and a speedy recovery for you Arthur.  Here is one of our tamariki making a Card for Arthur, Lucinda and whanau.

Tin Foil sculptures

Wow, these are made from tinfoil, they have been sketched then formed by scrunching up the foil and moulding it.  I think these look fantastic and a good medium to work with as well.

Whainga Ako:  to design a flat picture with a few lines, then be able to transform it into a 3D sculpture.

 

Update on our Mural - woohoo coming along fantastic, hopefully will be finished by  the end of the term - more to come......

 Tamariki have been working to add the green maunga and the awa, they are getting use to the ridges in the wall surface

Nice pics of a couple of very good friends, handy, was just trying to show the scale of the mural.

Irrigation

Once again a huge thankyou to our whanau members who come and do this mahi for our tamariki.

We are very lucky to have such awesome whanau and a cool as Caretaker.
