Our Rāhui Bubble Adventures

Our Rāhui Bubble Adventures

 

2021 was another extraordinary year! We reflected on our favourite parts of Rāhui. We drew pictures and wrote about them. Some of us shared photos of what our whānau got up to. We invite you to watch our Rāhui movie to see the adventures we had. 

Our Favourite Places in Brighton Ōrua Paeroa

Watch our movie to find out where our favourite places are in our school's suburb. What's your favourite place? 

Our Trip to the Beach

On Friday we walked to New Brighton Beach. We saw a dead stingray. We could see its mouth and its teeth. I thought I could hear a sea creature.... I think it was a whale but we couldn't see it. We learnt 'No plastics at the beach!' You're not allowed them, otherwise the sea creatures will die like the poor stingray. Put your plastics in the rubbish, you know. Be kind to the whales and the stingrays and the crabs. We are supposed to put our rubbish in the rubbish bin... the nearest one. Hold onto it very tight! If there isn't a rubbish bin, take it home in your car. By Bella 

Wig Wednesday

On Wednesday the 15th of September, we had a wig or wacky hair day at school. The aim was to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. Everyone had a great time donning their favourite wig, or doing their hair in crazy ways. 

Check out our video below to see these silly styles. 

Which is your favourite?

The Bubble Shop

Someone from Rongo-mā-tāne is famous! They are in the new Itty Bitty Beats music video. Kei reira katoa! How fabulous! Look out for them on the dance floor...

Book Character Dress Up Day

Due to Lockdown, our school didn't get to have a Book Character Dress Up Day. Luckily we are so adaptable and we got to dress up at home instead. Kei reira katoa, Rongo-mā-tāne! What a fabulous job you did of your costumes. We've also been learning colours in Te Reo Māori, so you can sing along with Itty Bitty Beats as you watch our movie. 

Traditional Māori Games with Kelly Sport

Rongo-mā-tāne learnt so much through their sessions with Kelly Sport. Mahina taught us Nga Tae - a game to learn the colours in Te Reo Māori. We had to run to different coloured cones and it was great fun. Then we experimented with poi and rakau. Here are some movies of Tī kōuka's session. 

Here are some pictures that we drew on Seesaw to share our learning with our whānau.
