Kapa Haka Performance

Yesterday and last night some very special people in our class performed at the Uru Manuka Cultural Festival. Our kids rocked! They looked amazing in their Kapa Haka uniforms kindly organised and sourced by the PTA and we are all so proud of them! Can you spot someone that you know?




Mrs Taylor and Mr Robertson said that our Kapa Haka group had the youngest children in it, because we had kids from Year 1 all the way up to Year 8, but most schools only had kids from Year 3 up!

Check out a bit of a video of the group - the sound quality isn't amazing but everyone was so impressed with their performance!

Butterfly Lady!

On Friday we had the Butterfly Musketeer come and visit us! We had great fun learning about the different stages of a caterpillar's life and how they turn into butterflies. Brayden read us a poem about caterpillars and butterflies and we got to see lots of cool stuff.



We also got to dress up like butterflies and get some dramatic acting to show each other how the butterfly dries off its wings after coming out of a chrysalis.



We learnt heaps of new things like how to feed caterpillars (only ever swan plants, nothing else!) and how to look after them, how long they live for and how to work out if they are a boy or a girl! 

We had such a great time learning with the Butterfly Musketeer. Leave us a comment and ask us some questions!
