Duffy Show

Today we had Dylan. Anya and Emma-Rose come to Paihia School to perform a Duffy Show for us.

It was called, "Duffy: Stuck in the Game". 

Duffy gets stuck inside a video game he and his cousin play online together and have to figure out a way to get out by reading books.

It was great fun and we even had a few Te Maunga students involved in the show itself!

We had an outstanding time and learnt a lot!

Food, Glorious Food

This week in Te Maunga we learnt all about how plants grow. We read through texts and wrote down the steps needed to grow a variety of fruit and vegetables. We also created animations to show how this process.

For our Makerspace activity we worked in groups to create different dishes.

We used the vegetables harvested from our garden and brought in a few things from home.

Each group created their own unique dishes, just in time for lunch!

Everyone had a great time being creative and making sure we had some healthy options to eat.

Hopefully we can all recreate these at home!

We also celebrated some birthdays in the class on Friday. Jade turned 10, Alana turns 9 over the weekend and Mrs. Pou will turn 21 yet again on the weekend. Mr. Ngata made a cake for the class to celebrate these milestones.

Term 4 Has Arrived!

We've made it to the beginning of the end! Term 4 is finally here and we have a huge amount planned in the next 9 weeks. This week we had Tracey in to work with the students doing Swim Safe activities... on land!

We have been busy filming our movies for the upcoming film festival. Next week everyone will be hard at work editing their silver screen spectaculars! Check back in a couple of weeks to see the finished products...

Athletics day is in Week 6 so we have been practicing with Te Ngahere to make sure we are all peaking for the big day.
