Our Dance Costumes.

On Wednesdays, our teacher Mrs Gibson comes in and teaches us. This term is very different because she told us to think of a country that inspires us the most and look at the costumes that they are wearing and making it a better version, so that it is easier for the dancers to move in. It took us nearly half a term to make our costumes pretty and perfect. We selected different types of dance. They were: Samoan, Niuean, Flamico and Hip Hop. Here are some photos of our costumes.

Sailing Lesson

On Friday the 31st of September, Simon, Max and Steve came to our school to teach the Wairere team how to sail properly. We had so much fun. We all got a turn to sit in the Dinghy and hold on to the Tiller and the Main Sheets. Our aim was to hold on to the Tiller while people are turning the Dinghy around. We are going real sailing next term in week 3. We can't wait!!!

Apirana Taylor the storyteller

On Friday the 16th ,a storyteller called Apirana Taylor came to our school to tell us some of the Maori myths and some of his stories when he was young. These are some of them: The Dream Of Aroha, Reihana The Ant, Mother Tohora The Whale and The Lolly Tree.  He brought in some of his Maori instruments. He told us The Lolly Tree story in a really funny way. He made some shapes out of the strings he brought with him. Here are some photos.
