We went to the museum. We saw the Taonga of Te Arawa. We looked at the flutes.  Tutanekai's special flute was safe in a case but we could touch the wooden flute. George played it for us.

Tutanekai's flute feels smooth. He blew his flute. Hinemoa heard the flute and she swam to Mokoia Island.

I felt the glass by the axe. It felt smooth.

I saw a hook. It was made of rock. It is special because it is old.
by Gene.

I saw a cloak. It was cool because I liked the feathers and it was made of dog skin too. The dog skin looked scary.

I went to the Rotorua museum with my Mum. When I went upstairs I saw the whole of Rotorua.

I like the flute and it was special because it was Tutanekai's. He played it for Hinemoa.

This is my lavalava.  I wear my lavalava when I dance.

Our frog has gone to live in Mrs Field's pond with the goldfish. He wants to find a safe place to stay for the cold winter.

He likes sitting on the lily pad in the sun waiting for a bug to eat. 

Room 4 Flat kids are helping us to learn.

We Like School

Welcome to 2012,

celebrating a new group of

Room 4 Superstar

learners and writers.

Kandinsky

We looked at some pictures of houses by a famous artist called Kandinsky. He used rectangle and triangle shapes. He painted with bright colours. We made some pictures of houses using shapes and colours like Kandinsky.

Breakfast at school

We know how to keep ourselves safe and healthy and we can make our own breakfast. We had breakfast at school. We made cereal and toast.

Happy birthday

We had a birthday in Room 4. Tama had a delicious cake and we all sang Happy Birthday. Now you are six.

All Blacks

Go the All Blacks.

We imagined that we were swallowed by a shark and we wrote a poem.

None of the other fish liked the Rainbow Fish. They just swam away from him. But he met a wise octopus. The octopus told him the waves have told me that you have not been kind to the other fish.

So Rainbow fish shared his shiny scales with the other fish.
Then he had lots of friends.
