Reminders

Welcome back everyone to Term 4.

What a great start we had with Grandparent's Day on Friday. It was fabulous to have so many grandparents visiting A6 and sharing some of their stories when they were at school. We had grands and greats from as far as Gisborne! A6 students showed some changes in the classroom by writing their stories using the ipad. We did some reading, spelling and Maths together and everyone drew a portrait of 1 or more of their grandparents and made a frame for it.
Thanks for sharing the morning with us! It was a special time.

This term we are focusing on fairy tales for literacy...so get out those books and share some of them with your tamariki.

I'm impressed with how many students are wearing sunhats. Just a few need to remember to bring their sunhats every day...even if it looks like rain!!!

Tonuhopu Marae Visit

Yesterday we went to the Tonuhopu Marae in Ohinemutu.
We were welcomed onto the Marae and 
We heard Matua Kingi tell us the story about the explorer Ihunga  who discovered lake Rotorua and Mokoia island and how Ohinemutu is named after his wife Hinetekakara as it was here that he heard of her death.  
We learnt karakia and performed them for parents and went for a hikoi around the area.
