POLYFEST 2012

Thursday 9th August was the day that we were to perform at Polyfest 2012.  This is a wonderful opportunity for children to perform and show what we have been learning and working so hard on.  Our waiata consisted of our new school chant - Ko Wai Tenei - This is Us, Haere mai, Ko toku marae tenei, Kua rongo mai, Pa mai, E.I.A.I.E and three haka from our tama.
Their performance was wonderful and I was extremely proud of them.  Mr Silcock and our parents were there to watch and tauoko us.  A very special thanks to our parents who helped with the transport and dressing the tamariki.  It's very busy and when we have 30 odd excited children milling around, it can be full on.  But the tamariki were well behaved and enjoyed their performance.
Thanks also to the tamariki for putting in the time and effort.  I know you enjoy your playtime but the practices that you put in made you better prepared on the day.

TINO PAI RAWE!!

STATIC IMAGES

Here are some photos some of the children have taken.  They have been busy looking at things that interest them.  These photos will be brilliant to use as writing prompts for our writing.   Some of these photos will be judged and hopefully part of the selected photo's to go through to be judged as finalists for the ICT2LRN Media Awards.  As part of this project, the children will take what they have learned about photography and take photos of things that interest them.  The children who have taken these photos are able to talk about how they took their photo and what type of shots they were.  i.e. long shot, close up, zoom in, zoom out, the position of the sun or time of day, angle shots - did they take their photo from up high or down low.  Well done tamariki ma!
