VLN Te Reo




I use lots of everyday phrases using Te Reo in the classroom. I have achieved Level 1 Te Reo through Te Wananga O Aotearoa.

This year Room 9 is the only junior class trialing VLN  Te Reo.

We have been challenged with new karakia, vowels and many new waiata.

The  technology has been challenging and we  have not always had the big screen up.

The students are beginning to settle after seeing themselves on the screen. I have rotated who is in the front row each week so all students can be seen and they can see themselves.

PTC 1,4,5,6

kapa Haka in the junior syndicate



To help students with their learning the whole Junior Syndicate have decided to attend Kapa Haka each week. There is just enough room for us to fit in the Wharenui. It is great to see the children taking part and learning the language.
Awesome for the teachers to participate as well.
Lovely to see my ORRS funded student enjoying Kapa Haka. There was no resistance when helping him move his arms and he had a fantastic smile on his face. His pictures have been shared with his mum through Seesaw.
All the PTC's are covered in this post. Kia ora.
