Maori Language for Feelings

On Tuesday afternoon we learnt how to say Maori feelings and how to ask how people are feeling.

This is how to ask how someone is feeling... 'Kei te pehea koe? 

This is how to answer it... 'Kei te _____________ ahau. This means 'I am feeling __________'.

If you watch this video you might be able to say these feelings and ask how other people are feeling.

Can you guess what the feelings mean? If you don't know, come to Room 14 and we will tell you!!

Student of the Week - Kalotia

Today at assembly Mr Melrose presented Kalotia with her Student of the Week prize. 

She received the award because she has a positive attitude towards her learning, works hard, gives everything a go and is kind to everyone. 

Well done Kalotia, keep up the hard work!! 


Kalotia looked surprised when she heard her name! 


Mr Melrose is reading Kalotia her award. 

Great job Kalotia, you should be proud! 

Spider Hats

This afternoon we made spider hats for our Construction topic in Art. We had to colour in the face and legs with black crayon and cut them out.

Next we cut the middle out of a paper plate so we could sit the hat on our head. After that we had to fold the legs and staple the face onto the front of the hat. 

Then we stuck the legs on and made eyes out of white paper and stuck those on too. 

We were scared when we had them on our heads because there were spiders on us!!! (just kidding, we knew they weren't real... or did we?) 


Argh! Scary spiders!!!!! 


Looking good Room 14 :)
