Powhiri 18 September
Last Friday we had a Powhiri at school. The year 3 and 4's had stayed the night in the School Hall and they welcomed us onto the field with a Powhiri. Amanda called for us and Sebastian and Max and Mathias did our speeches and we all sang some Maori songs. After the year 3 and 4's had done their speeches and songs and a haka, we gave them a koha of food. We all then lined up to hongi. It took a long time! Then we all went down to Room 4 and had a shared lunch together. Here are some pictures from the Powhiri.

The School Disco 4 September
We had a school disco on Friday 4 September. We had good fun and we saw lots of our friends there. We also bought different sorts of flashing lights and danced to great music. Here are some photos of us at the Disco.
Assembly and the Friendship Cloaks
Last Thursday we helped to take the School Assembly with Room One. We stood at the front and told the Assembly who was to come up next. We also showed the other children our Friendship Cloaks that we made with Room One with Amanda. Here are some photos from the Assembly. If you want to see the cloaks you can come and see them hanging up in Rooms One and Two.

Our City
We made this city with lots of help from the children in our class. The children who helped are Isaac, Leon, Kate, Rueben and Rebekah. We made people to go in the city and the city has a swimming pool and a cafe below the skyscraper. It has a playground for the children and lots of different buildings. If you go up to the top of the skyscraper it will make you dizzy.

Puppet Shows at Wellington Girls College
We went to Wellington Girls College and some Year Nine girls put on some puppet shows for us. They made the puppets themselves and also made up the shows. They were very good and also very funny. We really enjoyed watching.
Fun on the Climbing Wall
Last week we joined with Room One to try different handholds on the climbing wall. We had a great time and learnt which way was the best to get along the wall.

Te Papa Visit
Today we went to Te Papa to learn about the way a Powhiri is run. We saw the wonderful modern Meeting House Wharenui, and learnt the different parts of a Powhiri. We also saw and went inside a very old Wharenui and learnt about what each part of the building means.Here are some photos of us at Te Papa.
