Assembly Term 2

I am so proud of Tui 5! They set up and ran an awesome assembly for the Tui syndicate this week. I wish I could've filmed the whole thing! Thank you to the ladies who MC'd the assembly, Christilee, Kalisi and Anna.
Big ups to our special rapping guests, Michael Tizzle, Phayeton Nizzle and Harlym Lizzle.
Above all thank you to the rest of the class who set the standard of professionalism and great behaviour during the singing, dancing and running of assembly. Well done you guys!

Lauren Child Collage

During term 2 we have been learning about authors. We have chosen six authors to do in depth study on and have really enjoyed learning about them, their background, why they decided to write books and which books they have written.
Our authors have been David Walliams, Ron Bacon, Craig Smith, Dr Seuss, Drew Daywalt and Lauren Child.
Lauren Child is extremely awesome because she is not only an author, but she illustrates her own stories as well. She uses a cool way of illustrating which is called collage. When we use collage we pick backgrounds and glue our pictures on top of them.
Here is Tui 5's rendition of collage. The kids have included themselves doing everyday activities. ENJOY!

Samoan Language Week!

Happy Samoan Language Week!
It has been a great week celebrating all things Samoa this week. The kids looked amazing dressed in their best culture clothes.

We have been reading the Samoan legend called Sina and the Eel. You can watch it here if you like.

We decided to retell the story, here is our version.

In maths, we also used Samoan patterns to make our own siapo (tapa). We used symmetry and folding and cutting paper to make our own siapo. We hope you enjoy.
