Matariki in Room 9

Celebrating Matariki in Room 9

Tapa art work in Room 9.
We used felts and dye to make our Tapa. We drew Koru - spial fern patterns, Ika- fish, Paua - shells and silver ferns - all of which are symbolic to New Zealand Maori culture. We then scrunched up the paper a few times to give it a crumpled real tapa look. Mrs Alluri then ironed the paper to remove the folds. We put up our art work in our school hall for our parents to see for our celebration evening.

Room 9  Scarecrow

In Room 9 we made a scarecrow as a part of our Oral Language programme. We stuffed it with grass and dressed our scrarecrow with shirt, pant and a scarf. We put him in our school vegetable garden to scare the birds and strangers away from getting vegetables from our garden. We named him Thomas.
They look so cool in our garden.

 We are carrying our scarecrow out to put him in our vegetable garden.
Doesn't he look SCARY!!
We are sure he can look after our gardens.

Stunning Samoa in Room 9

TALOFA LAVA!!

During the last week of May, Room 9 has been learning about Stunning Samoa as a part of our IOL program and also to celebrate Samoan Language week. We have been learning to greet people using 'Talofa Lava',  we made Leis using colored paper and straw, we made Siapo using Samoan patterns. We shared ideas about ' White Sunday in Samoa' & we used Samoan pictures to share our ideas and make wall stories. We used Samoan words like -Sivi, Fale, Leis, Lavalava, Kilikiti, Siapo... when sharing about Samoa and Samoan Culture. We will post our wall stories soon. So Keep Visiting us.....
