We retold the Maori Legend of 'In the Beginning', a story about Rangi and Papa.

Last week we had snow!!! There were only eight children at school on Tuesday. We made snowflakes, just like the outside ones!!!!

This week we will start our Rich Concept topic of 'What is Unique about New Zealand?'. On Tuesday and Wednesday each class will rotate around the syndicate and experience different capturing activities about New Zealand.


We have been using Maori Myths & Legends as an inspiration for Drama. Groups of students practised a retelling of a legend for an audience.
