More Puppet Pals

Here are some more...

Puppet Pals

Recently we have been learning to use an app on our iPads called Puppet Pals.  This is a fabulous application to use for our reading to help us become fluent and expressive readers.  Check out the following plays done by different reading groups in our class.  We have been reflecting on how we did and how we can make it better.  We would love some feedback and feed forward from you as well!!  Please leave us comments!

Matariki

Last week Matariki began.  We have been studying about Matariki in our class.  Here are some things we have learnt:

• Matariki is also known as the eyes of God and tiny eyes.
• Matariki is sometimes known as the seven sisters.
• Matariki is celebrating the Maori New Year
• This is time for celebrations, feasts and hangi.
• Kite flying is a way of celebrating Matariki.
• Matariki is the Pleiades constellation.  The best time to see it is in early morning at the end of May and early June.

Today we made some yummy Matariki biscuits shaped as stars.  We decorated with sprinkles and silver balls.  When we cracked an egg into the bowl, we had a double yolk egg which is very good luck!  We handed some of our biscuits to the teachers and ate all the rest ourselves.  They were divine!!

 

Artist in the making

On Sunday QO painted this amazing picture with his Aunty.  They are koru designs that represent his Maori background.  We think it is awesome!!  Take a look and leave a comment...
