Ka Pai Room 20! A Message from Whaea Donna & Room 14 :)

Last week, a few girls from our class were fortunate enough to publish some of their awesome  writing in the school's newsletter.

The girls spoke about what they had been learning in terms of the Treaty of Waitangi and they also described how Fantastic their trip to Waitangi was.

Here's a little Message from some of our teina in our school.

Ngā mihi Whaea Donna me ngā taitamariki ō te Ruma 14. :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations Matariki, Tamara, Serenade and Myra on your awesome recounts that were published in this week’s school panui!  I’m sure every family at CPS have enjoyed reading your experiences and learning more about The Treaty of Waitangi.

Keep up the great work!

Three cheers from Whaea Donna and Room 14 J

Piping picking at Te Haumi, Paihia!

In the olden days and still today, Maori people use the moana (sea) as a great source for gathering kaimoana (seafood) to feed their many manuhiri (guests). 

Matua Des gave us a similar scenario where we had to go out into the moana and collect our own kaimoana to feed our whole group. This is what we collected :) 

Special mihi to Lenny and Suliafu for carry our pipi's back to the shore! Nga mihi kourua.

Day 1 of our Waitangi Trip!

Here some photo's from our trip.
