Here are some key moments from the final weeks of Term 2 in the K\u014dwhai Team.<\/p>


<\/p>

Fractured Fairy Tales<\/h3>

As part of our writing focus this term, our literacy groups have been exploring fairy tales and how to 'fracture' or rewrite them to take on a different character's perspective.<\/p>

The learners in Krystal's literacy group had a surprise this week when Karen brought in a record player from 1960 and played some old-fashioned fairy tales.  They were fascinated by this different form of media that could be used to share stories. <\/p>

Pepeha<\/h3>

This term, the K\u014dwhai students have been developing a digital pepeha. In M\u0101ori culture, a pepeha is an introduction that establishes identity and heritage. The children have been learning about the key components that should be included in a pepeha and how to develop, manipulate, store, retrieve, and share this content digitally.<\/p>

Matariki<\/h3>

Last week, we held a Matariki evening at school. It was wonderful to see so many parents coming to see the kapa haka group perform and share in our Matariki activities.<\/p>

Canterbury Cricket<\/h3>

Next term, coaches from Canterbury Cricket will be coming to school to teach the K\u014dwhai children about cricket. The children will have the opportunity to learn and practise the key skills needed for cricket as part of Canterbury Cricket's Smash Play<\/i> programme.<\/p>


<\/div>

School Holidays<\/h3>

We hope you have a wonderful time with your children over the school holidays and we look forward to seeing you all next term.<\/p>

Kind regards<\/p>
