Te Kakano class's March Moments to Remember.

 Here are some memorable moments from the last weeks.

Water Fun afternoon because we have been such great students who have shown our five school values of Excellence/Hiranga, Diversity/Rereketanga, Integrity/Ngakau, Community and Partnership/Porihanga and Caring for the Environment/Kaitiakitanga.

Pirate Day!

We have been learning that originally there were no people in Aotearoa New Zealand. First the Maori explorers arrived in their waka and many hundreds of years later people arrived from England in tall ships. Some pakeha people from England did not obey the law and there were wars. An agreement was written so that life would be fair for both Maori and pakeha. This agreement is remembered every year on Waitangi Day. The Treaty of Waitangi is very important to the people of New Zealand. 

 We read a book called 'The Tree Hut Treaty' and talked about solving problems, agreeing and making promises.

We all agreed on some promises for our class and then signed our class treaty.
