Matariki 2011 at Victory School By Paloma

2011-07-29T20:10:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday the 15th of June,the Maori New year also known as Matariki, was celebrated at Victory School.
Despite being a windy day it was a great success. At least 400 people showed up, including parents, grandparents and children from the Victory community.
First everyone gathered in the hall to listen to Mrs Taylor who had prepared a welcome speech. Next a group of talented actors and actresses performed a shadow puppet play based on the Maori myth about how Maui found the secret of fire. Then the students went back to their classrooms to get their lanterns. Everyone started walking along the Railway Reserve as it got dark. By the time everyone got to the end of the track the fire dancers had already started. The flames looked spectacular in the darkness. A lot of the children were sausage rolling down the hill or hitting the gong.
When everyone got back they had a hot cup of soup and half a bread bun. After everybody had finished the kids played in the playground while the parents watched performances in the hall. During that time the hangi food got dropped off by a truck. The tickets sold as quick as a flash and the food was delicious. Last of all, at around 8 o'clock, everyone started to get tired so they headed on home.

Go Fly A Kite

2011-04-03T00:07:00.000-07:00

One of our classmates goes to one day school. We were interested in what she did there so we asked Ms Duncan if we could do some work that way so on Fridays we have an Inquiry day we still study all the subjects we usually do but it doesn't feel like it because we've helped set the topic and the activities are all about getting us thinking and working together to solve real problems. Our first topic was about kites because we read this great book called 'The Obstreperous Kite'. You should come to our class and read it and look at our kites.

Room 11 Visited Whenua Iti . We were able to practise alot of the co-opperative skills we had been working on in class.We had the chance to learn some new skills and try some new activities. It was scary to try some of the new things especially the Flying Kiori ( the Flying Rat) but it felt wonderful to trust each other and overcome our fears.
