Wairaka - Memory cards

Ana-Zariya and Lavinia made these memory cards to help us learn more about Wairaka. How many pātai (questions) can you whakahoki (answer)?

Tihei's visit

We were lucky enough to have a visit from Tihei Harawira yesterday, along with a TV crew from Native Affairs! Tihei shared his amazing story with us, and even gave us a few of his unique freestyle raps. We will let you all know when the item screens on Maori Television. This was Tihei's last rap for us - enjoy!

For those wanting to know a bit more about Tihei, here is a link to his 3 minute doco: https://vimeo.com/132296801

Ms Vaughters

We were lucky enough to have a trainee teacher, Ms Vaughters, in Room 23 last term. She learnt a lot from us, and we learnt a lot from her! We wish Ms Vaughters all the best for the rest of her training, and are sure she'll become a great teacher.
