Listening to Sounds
Kiaora whanau
We have been learning to listen and identify sounds that we can hear. Everyday we practise using our ears to listen to sounds. We started off with listening to environmental sounds, then later moved on to listening to rhyming words from our poems and now we are learning how to listen to sounds made through body percussion. This week we had Joslin and Kim come to teach us different ways to listen. Learning is so much fun. Listening can be very challenging so we are still practising really hard.

Weaving Portraits
Namaste
In Week 7 we learnt to weave using a portrait of ourselves. We learnt to follow a pattern and to make sure that our strips were the same size. Some of us found this a challenge but we all gave it a go.
Here are some photos of us giving it a go.

Celebrating our Support Staff
Kia Ora family and friends
This term we celebrated and acknowledged our support staff. In our class we are very lucky to have Whaea Sonia who supports us with our learning. We are very grateful to her for EVERYTHING that she does for us. We don't say "thank-you" enough and we know that she works just as hard as our teacher. Thank - you Whaea Sonia and to the rest of the support staff for coming to school every day and for looking after us.

Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Keep your identity alive to thrive
Talofa Lava,
Samoan Language week was celebrated not only in our class but also at our school.
In our class we have 6 Samoan students who were really helpful throughout the week. We taught the Fledglings team the song, "Vaai i le pepe", which is a song about a butterfly. During the week we had rotations where we got to meet our other class mates and teachers from our team. We enjoyed making our feelers, butterflies, weaving and making a 'ili' (Samoan fan).
Our challenge for the week was to introduce ourselves in Samoan. We tried our very best.
Here are some of the highlights from the week.
