  • He maurea kai whiria!

    Ignore small matters and direct effort toward important projects

    Kia ora. I hope you all had a great break and kept warm and dry.  There has been some wild weather about! This term we are going to start with delivering our speeches in small groups.  We will then look at the way communities and cultures explain natural phenomonen through oral traditions (story telling, myths and legends) and have a chance to write our own explanations of events and phenomonen around us.  Did you know fairy tales used to be a way of parents aerting their children to the dangers of the world around them - don't leave home without your parents because a witch might catch you, don't talk to strangers when walking to your Granny's house, don't break into other peoples houses and eat their porridge etc.
