Fri-YAY in Ti Kouka

 We have had an awesome day today in our Blue and Yellow for Ukraine. We love dressing up in support of others and being able to make a difference. 







We also have been so lucky that the PTA has gifted us some new magnetic tiles. We are so excited to have  brand new pieces to help build big creations. We love seeing what we can make. Have a look at some of our creations this week. THANK YOU PTA :)

Our hello song from Tī Kōuka


We have had lots of terrific learners showing manaakitanga in Tī Kōuka. Here are the children that received a certificate in our school Zoom assembly. They were spotted being fantastic manaakitanga this week.


We made a video of our Hello Song so the children can sing it at home. We are practising saying the different greetings from all the cultures in our studio.

We all may be different kinds of fish but in Huritini we swim together...











 

Showing manaakitanga by learning how to be a great maths buddy-

During maths sessions, we often learn with a maths buddy where we work together to solve problems.  This week we have been focusing on how to show manakitaanga and be a great maths buddy.  We brainstormed what we liked our maths buddy to say and do and what we don't like them to do. 


We did activities with our maths buddy and remembered to focus on what our buddies like us to say and do.
