Sonshine Ranch - Flying fox and Big swing

Tā mātou haerenga i Sonshine Ranch

Te Pōkiha rere me te kaurere nui

I te 7 o Mahuru, i haere pai mātou i te wahi o Sonshine ranch.

 Ko ngā pūtake o te haerenga;

*     Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui

*     Me mahi tahi

*     Whaia te iti kahurangi

*     Me whakamōhio mātou i te tiakitanga o ngā hoiho me te whakahirahiratanga o te hoiho ki ngā            tangata. 

He rawe te pōkiha rere me te kaurere. The flying fox and big swing were awesome. We were scared but we went beyond our fears. Wehi nā 

Kua rite kōutou ?

Kei te rere runga mātou i te ngahere.

Tēnā koe, Matua Leyton.
We are so sorry for kicking you.

Te Whakaaroaro

Waka 3- Have you learnt the Te Whakatipu Kakano mihi?

Mihi o Te Whanau Whakatipu kakano

Te korowai a te kaihanga

Te korowai a te rangimarie
Kua horaina mai i runga  i a mātau
Ko te wehi ki te atua me whakakororia tōna ingoa i ngā wā katoa
E te whare e tū nei
E te papa ki waho rā, tēnā kōrua
E te minita nau ano i whakatuwhera i tō tātau nei rangi, tēnā  koe
E ngā kaiako e whakatipu ana i nga kakano māori nei kua puawai i roto i tēnei ao hurihuri tēnā kōutou
E ngā tipu-a-Tane me ako, me mou hoki i ngā tikanga me ngā matauranga kua waihotia e ō tātou matua tipuna
Kia kaha rā tātou. He karanga tēnei ki ōku manu tioriori.
Tū mai whanau.

Inquiry reveal Ngā Atua me ngā kete matauranga.

Inquiry Reveal and learning
Te ako pakirehua me te mahi ako

I ako mātou i te waiata e hāngai ana ki ngā kete matauranga. Ko te waiata, "Tēnei au"

Nā te mahi ako, i whakamōhiotia e mātou ngā momo matauranga o ō tātou tipuna. I hanga mātou i ā mātou kete matauranga. He pikitia o ō mātou whanau te whakanikonikotanga o ēnei kete.

We learnt waiata and karakia relating to the three baskets of knowledge where we placed our learning goals. We also put strategies which will help my buddies to support me if i ever need  a positive influence with my learning or well being.  

Aroha ki ngā tangata katoa

Ngā pukapuka nui- Ngā Atua

I whakarite, i whakatakoto, i whakamārama, i whakatika, i tuku atu/tuku mai, i whakaputa.

I tipakohia e ngā tamariki ngā momo pātai pakirehua.

We worked in small groups to inquire about different Atua Māori. We read many versions of Atua Māori but we wanted to inquire deeper into each of them. We planned, drafted, reworked (edited), proofread, shared and published our learning within our big books. 

The covers and illustrations within our books were based upon Picasso's style of art. In our groups we had to create a video to record the process of our learning on the chrome books.

Biking - Eke paihikara

I koha a Avanti i ngā paihikara hou ki te kura o Ranui. He waimarie tātou! 

I mau mai a Britney i tētahi paihikara i roto i te akomanga. I tuhi ngā tamariki i ētahi tuhinga whakaahua e pā ana ki ngā wahanga ā paihikara. 

We used our new bikes to begin planning and drafting our descriptions in te reo Māori. 

Whaea Jenny helped us to design posters with the rules of biking and being safe on bicycles. 

Whakamaua te potae maro!

Always wear a helmet and shoes. 

E hoa, kaua koe e waiho te potae i runga i te tepu.

Aue taukiri e!
