Tongan Language Week!

Mālō e lelei from Room 9.  

We had a fantastic Tongan Language week.  Mariana's and Hina's mums came in and helped us celebrate.  They made us the most delicious food to try.  They made otai, faifekau, lu pulu, manioke and kumala.  It was Ifo ifo!! Mary and 'Akosita sung songs with us, danced with us and showed treasures like weaving, tapa cloth, taʻovala, akiekie and other crafts. We also made our own tapa cloth out of paper.

Saying Lotu

I Cant Sleep!

We read The Sleep Sheep by Anna McQuinn.  

We have learnt that it is very important to get a good night's sleep to stay healthy.  We wrote stories about not being able to sleep.  We were trying to make our stories humorous for the audience.  Enjoy.

The Best Hut In The World 🌍

We read the fantastic book 'Hester and Lester' by Kyle Mewburn. It is a story about the special bond between a sister and brother, and the power of imagination.  

Statistical Literacy

We were allowed to bring a 'toy friend' from home so we could sort and classify the toys.
We made statistical statements about our findings.

First we sorted the toys into four categories.  Toys with wheels, animal toys, 'people' toys and make-up.  We discovered that animals were the most popular toy friend to bring to school. Cooper said, "Toys with wheels and animal toys are similar." The least popular toys to bring to school were 'people' toys and make-up.  Isabel said. " The make-up line is very small.  Make up is the least popular from home."

The second graph that we made sorted the toy friends into big and small toys.  David said, "The least popular are the little toys."  Cossar said, "The big toys were the most popular to bring to school." 

Pranav suggested that we make the next graph about toys that feel hard and soft.

The most popular toy friend to bring from home were hard toys.

AND on Friday afternoon we turned the classroom into
The Best Hut In The World!!

Peace Week and Random Acts Of Kindness 🎁

During Peace Week, Room 9 loved giving out random acts of kindness or RAOKs. Our Tuakana/Teina buddy class, Room 16, invited us to share in a RAOK exchange.  It was a lovely experience.  

Thank you so very much Room 16 💝
