Tawa @ Ngatea Primary School

This term we have started a Book Bash group and we are reading Solider Dog and i'm reading it with Finn, Liam, Lennex, Navdeep, Mason, Callum C and Jayden we recently we doing tic tac toe reading but now we found a book to read. We don't know what the books about yet because we haven't read any of it because another group is still reading the end of it when they finish on Wednesday we'll be starting our reading and getting our roles to do. When we start it will be another job to do for the week.

Last term and some of this term we did our Mural Art, we first had to think about some things about our self's like cultures and parts of the world/country that we are know to or family lives there. Then we had to get a piece of paper that had five sections for drawing some symbols about yourself then writing there meanings next to them. We started drafting on a bit of paper of what it would look like then colouring it in. We did a better drawing in our art books then marking what colours would go where. We then did a good copy on the piece of paper given to us by Mrs Hull, then we practised our water colours and then started water colouring our art. Everything means something on the murals

Holiday Report On Morgan In the holidays Morgan went to her gran house to celebrate her release of her book, she went with her whole family. The book is about the history of Ngatea and she’ll be giving her books to schools and play centres. They had lots of food that related to the book, Morgan said that it was scary because she didn’t know exactly what she was going to eat. She went there on the first week of the holiday, Morgan's favourite part was seeing her family and her gran reading her book to them.

This week was Maori language week and our class did lots of things to contribute to it, we made Art with our pencils and we got to chose a detailing choice and I chose to do water colours and my bird was a Kotare (King Fisher) We made a our own legend about a native bird We made poi's And sung lots of Maori songs.
