Waiata Karakia - Whakataka te Hou

Here is a new waiata that we are learning at school. Today Kohen put this on the blog all by himself!! Mrs Cooper needs to remember to log out!! :)

It takes team work :)

Two wonder Gecko friends decided to work together on a project. They negotiated,took turns, shared and had to make decisions together about how to construct their building. They showed such determination and perseverance - team work!

A sunny day for parent lunch!

What a fantastic day for lunch with our families at school. Thanks for coming and joining us!

Our family stories and traditions.

Te Aroha

We are learning this waiata in Kapa Haka at school. We are singing our waiata each morning in Gecko Room so we can learn it.

This one has the words for singing along!

Just keep getting stronger.

A very special song with an important message! Our challenge is to never give up and always try our best - it's all about perseverance!
