Student of the week - Amelia

Amelia has been working really hard to improve her handwriting and this is paying off! She has also been setting an exceptionally high standard in her independent reading activities, and showing a higher order of thinking in her responses. Keep up the fantastic work Amelia!

Our Marae Dioramas

As we prepared for our school camp on the marae we wanted to learn more about what to expect when we visited the marae. We wanted to learn the language for each of the rooms we would be staying and we wanted to learn about some of the special features of the Marae.

Aria, Madison and Ava with their Marae. 

 We made a wharekai and a wharenui in each diorama. 

Archie and Lochie also added a wharehoroi which was a bathroom.

Caitlyn & Luca with their Marae. 

We put Kowhaiwhai panels on the roof of our marae. 

Floyd, Angus and Kade with their Marae. 

We added tukutuku panels to the walls of our wharenui. 

Lochie, Logan and Nick with their marae. 

We also added whakairo (carvings) to the walls of our wharenui.. 

We uses manuhiri and Tangatawhenua to practise what happens in a powhiri.

 Oranje & Olive's Marae

The wharenui is the big room where everyone sleeps. 

Katie, Amelia, Emily and Grace with their Marae

The wharekai is the dining room where everyone eats. 

We loved making our marae diorama's and they certainly helped us to learn a lot about the Marae before our visit. 

Student of the week - Grace

Hard work and determination are two qualities that we really value in our learners at LAS, so it is wonderful to see Grace displaying them at a Year 3. When students make real effort in their work we see real results. Congratulations Grace and keep up the hard work!
