How do you perform a Maori 'Haka'?




First we get our ‘chin moko’ marked to show that we are happy and ready to perform our ‘haka’.

My toy men!

I made two toy men out of all the shapes I know and they look happy just like me.

Off to the Museum


Last Monday, we went to the museum by bus. In the bus, my friends and I were laughing and singing. At the museum, I saw an elephant and a monkey. I also saw a big volcano. I felt very happy.

Last Monday, the junior school went to the museum by bus. In the bus, my friend and I were singing and my friend was sitting on the chair laughing at me. At the museum, I had fun with my friends playing at the tree house. After playing, I was tired then we went back to school by bus.

Cook Islands Bread from Room 2


On Friday the 8th of June 2012, Room 2 made bread as part of our Guided Inquiry Learning - Learning to appreciate cultural diversity within New Zealand. The purpose was for children to learn about how the bread made in the Cook Islands and compare it to the bread made in New Zealand.
First we mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Then we made round balls and put them on the tray. After that, we put the tray in the oven for about twenty minutes. I took my bread home and shared with my family. It was really yummy. 

From everyone in Room 2
