Te Tino O Te Taiamai - Stories

As part of our learning about our local area we all wrote stories (including Mrs G).  We also published them by creating a story map and then using Explain Everything to share and record our versions.  Our writing was amazing as we had so much to write about and it was a great experience for us all.  We hope you enjoy our work.

Te Tino O Te Taiamai - Shared book

Mrs G wrote a Story for our Shared book Last week, and we became the illustrators for our own book.  Then Mrs G turned it into a digital book that we could read whenever we wanted to.  WE LOVE IT!  

It was based on our visit to Te Tino O Te Taiamai.  This week while Team Moana was away at school camp we were also able to borrow Whaea Aimee to help us turn it into a Movie, where we were the stars.  We had so much fun learning and reading about our local landmark.  We also wrote our own stories which we published as well - We were so excited to share these with Matua Ken.

Below is our Digital book, and the Movie we made.  We will create another post with our amazing Te Tino O Te Taiamai Stories.

 

Our Walk up Te Ahu Ahu

Here are some photos Grace took on our whole school trek up Te Ahu Ahu. We have been learning about the maunga around our community. Matua Ken and Hone shared their stories of our local area with us. We want to find out which maunga is the tallest and what the circle collection of stones were on Te Ahu Ahu, (Mrs G has a photo). The kids are also interested to know if any whanau have footage of the dog trials that have been on Te Ahu Ahu?

Keep an eye out on our blog to see some more photos of the kids from Room 5 and 6 as they climbed up the maunga with Mrs G's Go Pro that we will be posting soon.
