Animation Voiceover by Leilani

Kia ora,talofa lava,ola and greetings to you  all my name is Leilani and this is my animation for term 2 2017.We are learning about fishing  and sailing and how it  has changed over the years. When Maori people first arrived in New Zealand they used boats called waka’s. Waka’s were made out of wood and they had Maori carvings around them. Later on when the pakeha arrived they made boats that are called sailing boats and they had sails. Then a few more years later they add  lights, anchors, hotels,engines  and more! Once I saw a boat with a pool and a huge slide. This sailing boat is super cool they use it in the America's cup.The sailing boats go super fast and you have to pedal so that the boat moves.

Term 2 in Room 8

This term room 8 has been very busy with being able to have swimming lessons and kiwisport which was orienteering this term! We have learnt how to be safe in, on and around the water by being taught water safety skills. During kwiwsport we have learnt how to read maps and find clues around the school. Take a look at our video and see all the fun we have been up to in room 8.

Now thats thinking!

This term as a school we are going to be exploring and learning about technology and how it has changed over time. Mr Burt started us off for the term by showing us how technology has changed over time at Pt England School. We got to see the first lot of technology that was used at our school and then what we have now it was pretty amazing how far we have come! Team 4 and Room 8 will be learning about what kinds of technology that Maori had before Pakeha arrived in New Zealand. That is our big question that we will be focusing on and there will be many exciting topics that we will cover. This week our writing task was to think about what our topic could look like this term. Please read our blogs and leave us some comments.
