In our teams we planned, discussed and created our very own Ride on Horses. It was a fun day. Have a look at us testing and creating our Ride on Horses.
This morning we did a Math quiz about Keira's family. It was kind of hard. We were learning about counting and every time we got a question right we won $20. I won $100. That means I got five questions right. I felt nervous. After we marked eachothers work, we went to Ms. Tafa to get our money. We sat in a circle and Ms. Tafa asked us how much money we won. Then we had to look for how many $20 and $10 notes to take to make our prize. I chose one $50, two $5, four $10. It was fun. Here are some pictures of us showing our prize money. Yaaay...=)
$100 winners
$80 winners
$60 winners

Topic - Cultures from the 7 continents of the world
Aotearoa - Maori Culture
Matariki
Kalama -During week 2 and 3 we have been learning about Maori Culture.
We made some poi's to celebrate Matariki. We sang Maori songs. We even used our poi to dance to 'E rere taku poi' song. We are learning to make our poi for our Maori song. Matariki is the Maori New Year. We have also been learning how to sing 'Hareruia'. Ortymestorm is our lead singer. Here is a link to the version that we have been practising - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g0jONaro58&list=PLACj7o6dVfMN2CzQtiDvm9zhXQBa4Fq-m&index=1
Joseph - We used our poi to dance to the music. If you want to make a poi you should use paper, plastic bag and a rope. The Maori name for New Zealand is 'AOTEAROA'. Matariki is about the stars in the sky.
