VIDEO CALLING COLORADO

On the last day of term 4, Mrs M received a call from her friend in the U.S.A whose class was researching other cultures and their dances. 

She wanted to know the meaning behind the haka and so being the obliging kind we told her that we could perform a haka for her 2nd Grade class.

What an amazing experience this was and WOW with what can be done with modern technology today.

Here are photos of us chatting to the students in Mrs Ceretto's class in Colorado, U.S.A.

     

      

GRANDPARENTS DAY

On Wednesday we had our annual 'Grandparents Day' which coincided with 'Bookweek'. 

Our grandparents were invited to spend the morning with their moko (grandchildren) in their classrooms. Then they were invited to join the staff for morning tea. This was followed by a dance fest, where each class displayed a little music and dance number.

Here is the dance we learned for our grandparents-Barry White's "You're the first, my last, my everything."

Here are some snapshots of us with our nanny's, poppa's, grandma's, grandpa's, koro and kuia.

A huge thank you from us all in Room 9 to our grandparents who braved the weather to come and spend the morning with us. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
