Rapare 17 Pipiri

This morning, for many, started very early. This morning we celebrated MATARIKI. Matariki celebrates the Maori new year. The Greytown School kapa haka welcomed the Year 8's students and new staff. Mr Andrews lit a bon fire. The new Greytown staff and some year 8 students planted a tree each. Matariki is a good time of the year for planting. We know that it is Matariki when we can see the 7 stars of matariki (the 7 sisters) in the night sky.

Hi Everyone, thanks for checking out our blog!! Today we used 'writing fun' Website (http://www.writingfun.com/) to learn about writing reports. Then we used the Kiwi conservation Club site (http://www.kcc.org.nz/) to research New Zealand native endemic animals. We will use this information to help us write our reports.
In topic we used keys to help us show fun areas, unused, neglected, interesting, noisy, joyful, quiet and fearful areas on our map.
