Ngaa mihi nui ki a koutou e te whanau!
A huge welcome back to all the tamariki and whanau and we trust you all had a wonderful holiday. Our kaupapa 'Ngaa mahi a te Rehia, Games of Yesteryear' for this term will run along side children's interests, strengths, capabilities etc. Therefore below are a few of our tamariki demonstrating their skill of the game whai (string games). The tamariki are now challenging each other as to who can do a pattern the fastest. Eru, Tuhaka, Riki and Takarea are giving the staff a good run for their money as they are very quick indeed. Patterns that some of the tamariki do know are; 4 of diamonds, Eiffel tower, cup and saucer, waka atea parachute, and the 3 of diamonds. What is even more exciting is the tamariki who are more expert in the above patterns are now sharing their knowledge by teaching the staff.
Just a note also, expect your next expectation sheet for this term which will be sent to you in the next couple of days. You will need to fill these out to give us a glimpse of your expectations for your child/ren's learning development.

Kia ora ki nga tamariki o Matariki, ka pai to mahi!! Wow - you guys are so amazing!!! You guys are so cool! It's great to see an old maori past time revived. I think I may have to come along for a visit and have a lesson or two.
