Maui and The Fish

We have spent all week learning the Maori legend "Maui and the Fish". We re-told the story...

One day Maui went fishing. He threw his hook in to the sea. His hook was a jaw bone. He waited and he waited for a very long time. He was very hungry. Suddenly his rope went in the water and he pulled it up and he caught a stingray!

The stingray turned into the North Island of New Zealand. This is why the North Island is called Te Ika-a-Maui (‘The Fish of Maui’).

Welcome Back!

Welcome back for Term 2!

It was so great to see all the lovely Superstar Snakes back at school today! 

I loved hearing about all the exciting things the Snakes got up to over the holidays. I was especially happy to hear about trips to the library and other learning that took place!

We were excited to welcome some new friends to our class today... we are going to work hard to make them feel welcome and help them settle in to their new class! 

 We have a new shop! It is lots of fun.

Tinalya made some yummy cakes!
