RobotsIn Room 3 we are learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We first learned to describe the shape. We talked about

edges corners and faces. Next, we made these 2D Robots. Lastly, we had a challenge. Could we get the

3D Robot to stand?Sammy, Kaitlin and Breeze

Nga Rakau

We have been learning about Rakau. Did you know the rakau comes from the middle of the harakeke? It makes a really cool sound. We have learned a waiata to go with our actions. Our Waiata is called, E Papa

Waiari. Please join in if you know it!AJ and Zara

E Papa WaiariE pāpā Waiari, Taku nei mahi Taku nei mahi,He tuku roimataChorus: Ē aue, ka mate au;E hine hoki mai rā Ē aue, ka mate au;E hine hoki mai rā

2. Māku e kauteŌ hīkoitanga Māku e kaute Ō hīkoitanga

Harakeke Art

We sketched harakeke. We were thinking about where the rakau came from and which part was which. This helps us to know where we can cut and what to use to raranga or weave.

The Tupuna or the ancestors are on the outside. The rito or baby is in the middle. You never cut the rito.

Poi for GamesWe have been playing some poi games.In the olden days men used poi. Poi were used to make the wrists and brain strong. This helped them to be warriors. We made these strong poi to play games. We threw the ki or the ball to one another. We can throw the poi to ourselves and catch the tail. It’s really fun.
