Olympic games work

 Today Room 5 did work about Olympic games.  Our task was to answer questions about the photos of athletes that we were given. We worked hard and we actually worked

quietly for once!

Once our sheet was completed we moved on to the next sheet yay !!! Some were even up to  the next photo and questions. 

This man is head butting the soccer ball for a goal.... I wonder if he scored it ???

Venues at the London Olympics

 This is Mrs Sweney reading something about the Modern Olympics which started in 1896 in Athens.
The Winter Olympics began in 1924.

Did you know that the olympics were stopped during the WW1 & WW2?

And we will do some work sheets about the Modern Olympics tomorrow.

This week is Te Reo Lauguage week.The theme of Maori language week is," Arohatia Te Reo". Some of us did  Maori posters to put in a competition. We have been singing Maori songs[Waiata]. They are "Pu Kupu Maori,"" Purerehua,"," Nga Tae O Nga Putiputi" and "Aoaraki.E". Mrs Sweney  said, "He aha tenei?" [What is this?] Then we had to answer, in a sentence , in Maori!








Every morning we have to say to Mrs Sweney, how we feel in Maori. This one of our answers, " Kei te pai ahau whaea  Sweney." Also every morning we have a quiz in Maori. What we have to do is match the English words with the Maori words.

I feel so sorry for the Margaret Mayhe family for what has happened. R.I.P. You were one of the best writers I knew. I loved" A lion in the Meadow".
