Our past...

We have been learning about the past, especially the area where our school is. Therefor we visited  the Te Waotu Playcentre, which is the first, age old Te Waotu Native School.  We visited the Barnett Bush, which is a remnant of bush that existed before the great Taupo eruption in AD 186. Children in Room 1 have been very busy writing about their history!

We have been listening to Maori myths and legends and found out how Maori women first learned to weave: from observing! We learned to weave a kete!
