Fudge

After reading the poem Fudge! we made fudge with our buddy class.
We co-cooperatively worked together in groups to bring in the ingredients and to make a batch of fudge. We were allowed to taste the condensed milk and have a lick of the spoon and bowl! After the fudge had been left to set in the fridge, it was cut up into pieces. We tried a few pieces and took some home, it was yum!

Superhero Puppets

With our buddies we made superhero puppets. When they were finished we got into small groups and made another character and a story to go with our puppets. We used the app Puppet Pals on our ipads to record and publish our story. Here are some photos and three stories.

Toku Mihimihi - My Self Introduction

A mihimihi is a short greeting to introduce our self to other people in te reo Maori.
It is an important part of the process of meeting people for the first time.

Room 1 have been learning to write, read and present our own mihimihi in te reo Maori.
Our mihi includes where we come from, our nationality (iwi), mountain (maunga) and river (awa), school, age and name. We have worked collaboratively to help each other with our pronunciation and understanding.

To know who we are, we have to know where we come from.
