Our Class Trip

After a bit of a shaky start with the weather, our tamariki walked to Waitangi. We were greeted with beautiful weather and an exceptional level of enthusiasm by our tamariki.

When we arrived, we had our morning tea and then we played a direction game with Matua Mori.

If you want to play this at home, the commands are below:

Runga - Up 

Raro - Down

Maui - Left 

Matau - Right  

Matua Mori tells us about the actions and hoe. 

Toia mai!

Te waka!

Sonny and Breeze are so focused on their learning. Ka pai, tamariki ma!

We waited outside to go into the whare. 

Karanga and Shay look at he Tukutuku and Whakairoa. 

Breeze loves the whakairoa. 

We walk home along the beach. AJ's jump is the most impressive.

The tamariki make their own sun-dail on the beach. The children are wonderful at making predictions about how they might tell the time. 

The children predict that as the sun goes down the shadow needle will move around, and you will be able to tell the time.

The children have their lunch at the playground on the way back to school. 

Well done children! It was such a beautiful and enjoyable day.
