Celebrating Matariki

 




This week we will celebrate Matariki through our numeracy and literacy programme. Watch this space....


Meanwhile....

Can you help your wonderful learner to ponder these questions:

These questions will be used in our writing programme. 

What do you do with your family?

What do you like to celebrate?

What food do you like to eat with your family?

Do you know a story from when you were a baby?

A baby photo please:)

Coming together to share special stories about who we are and our family is a strong part of the Matariki tradition.

Could you please either provide a photo or send a photo to my e mail of your learner as a baby. jen@nbc.school.nz We will play guess who and encourage the children to use the photo as a way to talk about themselves as a baby- Parents this will need your input of course.


Please share your stories- this is what Matariki is all about!

If you are feeling brave, parents, use the comment box (below) to answer one or all of the questions listed above. I have done the first one to get us started!


Resources that we are using in the class to enjoy at home.

    What do I do/ celebrate / eat with my family? Well, I go to the beach with my family. Every single weekend and every single holiday. If you ever see us at the beach, we are the family with everything set up... about 6 surf boards, wet suits everywhere, beach chairs, beach towels or rugs ( brrr it gets cold in winter), books and food .We really love Christmas. My husband and the boys carry some indoor couches outside onto the deck area for Christmas day. Then we enjoy family and friends stopping by to enjoy some Christmas food treats with us. I really love Christmas dinner with ham. I cook it a few times during winter as well just to remind me of the special day to come...yum!!! My baby story: I was born on the Chathams!

Learning about the Saints

  Dear Familes To start term 4, we will learn about Mary. Please share this waiata with your wonderful ako.  Hail Mary, Gentle Woman Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen. Gentle woman, quiet light, morning star, so strong and bright, gentle Mother, peaceful dove, teach us wisdom; teach us love. You were chosen by the Father; you were chosen for the Son. You were chosen from all women and for woman, shining one. Gentle woman, quiet light, morning star, so strong and bright, gentle Mother, peaceful dove, teach us wisdom; teach us love. Blessed are you among women, blest in turn all women, too. Blessed they with peaceful spirits. Blessed they with gentle hearts. Carey Landry

We Remember Holy Thursday

Image
 Tomorrow is Holy Thursday and the last day of a wonderful term.  To support the children in their learning, we tried to imagine what it would have been like at the Last Supper. We investigated what plates would have been like in the time of Jesus. The plates would have been made out of clay. They might have had patterns pressed into the rim area.  We made our own plates and created patterns on our plates. We broke bread and shared it with out friends.  Tomorrow we will start the day at Mass. Then we will try some food from the time of Jesus.  Jesus told his friends at the Last Supper that everything would be ok. He told them that at first they would be sad ( on Good Friday ) but on Easter Sunday their hearts would lift and sing with JOY.  May we all feel  joy on  Easter Sunday. God bless  Mrs Tyro   Making our plates.   Our plates on the wall.   Scripture to support our learning.
