The Battle of the Mountatins
We have really enjoyed reading, retelling and exploring the story of the Battle of the Mountains.
We learned the names of the mountains in the North Island and where they are situated. The story tells us where the mountains are today.
We also had lots of wonderings about the mountains. Are they still active volcanoes? How do volcanoes erupt?
We used our research skills to find out where the mountains are and if they are still active.
We then did our own volcano experiment so we could imagine how the magma might run down the mountain.

making taniwha from clay
As we are studying Maori culture and legend this term, we have looked at the local legend of the Taniwha of Wellington Harbour.
We decided to represent them in clay - clay come from the earth, from Papatunuku. We thought that this would be a good choice of media.
We learned how to use clay safely and how to join two pieces of clay together. We are hoping to get our finished pieces fired.

Flax Weaving
We were delighted to receive a visit from Jolie from the Dowse Gallery today.
Jolie told us a story about Papatuanuku, Ranginui and their children. She then shared with us how to harvest flax (harakeke) and finally how to make a flax taniwha.

swimming
Swimming has got off to a great start!
The teachers are very impressed with the confidence of our children in the water, their respectful behaviour towards everyone that they meet both on the way to the pool and at the pool and their amazing listening during their lessons! Kapai!
