 * Tāne Mahuta ** is a giant [|kauri] tree ( // Agathis australis // ) in the [|Waipoua Forest] of [|Northland Region], [|New Zealand] . Its age is unknown but is estimated to be between 1,250 and 2,500 years. It is the largest kauri known to stand today. [|[1]] Its [|Māori] name means "Lord of the Forest" (see [|Tāne] ), from the name of a god in the [|Māori] [|pantheon].

According to the Maori creation myth, Tāne is the son of [|Ranginui] the sky father and [|Papatuanuku] the earth mother. Tāne separates his parents from their marital embrace until his father the sky is high above mother earth. Tāne then sets about clothing his mother with vegetation. The birds and the trees of the forest are regarded as Tāne’s children.

Last week of school for Term 1 - wow we have been busy. Will have to have a tidy up before we go on holiday!!

WELL DONE IMAN - We are all very proud of you!!!!











March already and week 7 about to start. Have a very cool site for us to look at and we have also signed up for the challenges which will continue for the rest of the year. Have a look at [|Kiwikids news] 2012 / February - The year has started well with the introduction of CAFE and the Daily 5 in our literacy time. CAFE stands for comprehension, ccuracy, fluency and extend vocabulary. The daily 5 is where the students during the morning do 5 language activities. Well at the moment we are doing more the daily 4 as i am still getting together the "Listening To" activities. (We need more headphones if you have any spare or old ones send the to school).

The daily 5 encludes - Read to self, read to someone, write, word works(spelling, grammar etc) and listen to someone. Then programme was started by a kiwi lady and was taken up and expanded by 2 sisters in USA. The do have a website [|The 2 sisters.] The main philosophy behind the programme is children get better at reading and writing by having lots of modelling and chances to do those activities regularly. It also give students choices as far as when they do the activities so they have greater ownership of their work and develop independent work habits. I as their teacher can pull out different students for different reasons and still do group sessions or individual sessions (in writing,reading and spelling). Throughout the morning I also do a variety of whole class lessons - focussed on writing or reading.



Zac kindly bought in his two rats one day. Their names are Tara and Chocolate. 

We had a lovely time with Thomas's very cute rabbits. Thanks for bringing them in.
