Whaea Te Rau Aroha and Papa Hori came to teach us about Matariki from weeks 1 - week 4. They also touched on Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Whaea Ngaio, Matua Troy and Matua Harley visited us and modelled debates for us in Te Reo and English. We will challenge Room 10 for debates later in the term.

3 way conferences were held in Week 3 and we showed our parents our efolios of results for Term one. These were very well received by all the parents who came in.

In week 4 Room 6 started typing up their Book reviews and are learning to present them in a book report. This needs to be completed this week. This was the week we farewelled the four teachers from Kura Takiura with a hakari in the Kura Rumaki. Whaea Te Rau Aroha played the guitar while we sang heaps of waiata.

Room 10 invited us to join them in week 5 on a day visit to the Library with Whaea Santana. This was a very successful day apart from one incident.

It is week 7 now, and we are doing our taumahi - assignments/projects about Taonga Puoro. Photographs of our Maths work should be downloaded this week. We have booked the ICT room each Thursday morning, and Room 6 students are looking forward to spending more time on the computers during class time now that accessibility is 80 - 100% guaranteed.

Next week, members of the class will be registered to compete in a tackle rugby tournament at Waiuku on Tuesday 12th June.

For us Matariki falls on the week of 22nd of June - this coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Kura Rumaki so we will have a fun day, BBQ and sports followed by a Room 10 fundraising disco that evening. We might consider a fundraiser to take a day trip in week 10.
