Room 15: "AMAZING AREWHANA"

Malo nī. Hello. This week we had the pleasure in learning a new culture, Tokelau. We learnt some words, and found that they are similar to the Samoan language and the Niuean language. (Using the f, and k, letters in their words.) Their National anthem sounds very traditional like the Tongan National anthem.  We drew the flag and we learnt about the meaning of their flag, this is a very nice meaning and I wish we all were good fishermen and navigate the waters to feed our families. _________________________________________________________________________________ Also we have been learning about Protecting our Earth and how to improve it. We drew the Earth and have written inside our earth of how to protect our Earth. Thank you for visiting our blog. Amazing Arewhana

Fakaalofa lahi atu kia mutolu osi, Monuina e aho Gofua nei koe Faahi Tapu Fakaoga vagahau NIUE, Fakaaue lahi. My children are giving Niuean dance a go. Amazing Arewhana have had a great week. From wearing the dress wear to making Divas with Miss Aruja. Such an awesome experience to have the resource of Diwali our classroom. Also with the Niuean language, the children were able to sing and dance a little of Niuean culture. We were lucky enough to have Alfriston College present their Niuean Group and share their niuean style. We also had our own Niuean Group present their niuean culture to the school too. Was a great week with it ending with great celebrations of DANCE. Thank you for visiting our BLOG.

Amazing Arewhana were lucky enough to go to the Botanical Gardens to continue the Inquiry Learning of MINI BEASTS. All the Rocketeers were put into groups and taught by a Kaitiaki of the Botanical Gardens. We had Miss Caroline and she was absolutely fabulous. She showed us places and scenes of a minibeast and how they cope in their environment. Mostly we learnt about the worm and how their job is to make amazing soil by using their 'wee's and poo's'. The song that we chanted was: All day long worms CHEW CHEW CHEW WEE WEE WEE & POO POO POO...   Our trip to the Botanical Gardens was very fulfilling, we learnt a lot and it made connections with what we had learnt through the term. It was good to see lots of the children enjoying the environments of the minibeasts. Please enjoy our blog and leave a message for us.
