At school we have a karakia before fruit time each morning. This youtube clip is a karakia that is said before fishing.

Maui and the Fish

Watch this animation about Maui and the fish. The Maori word for fish is 'ika' pronounced 'ee-ka'

Tangaroa's Gift

Room 3 has been retelling Tangaroa's Gift in their writing books. I found this cool retell that some other students posted onto youtube of the same story. Maybe you are interested in making a slide show of your retell?

The Colourful Milk Experiment

Check out the cool science we did in Room 3 today. There were lots of 'Wow' moments in our class!
If your child is raiding your cupboards looking for food colouring, detergent, milk and cotton buds this is why!!!

Below are some photos of our results. Watch this space and I will post some of the awesome observational drawings and notes the kids created. Room 3 certainly has some amazing scientists!!!
