Cultural Festival

Wairakei School went to the Cultural Festival last Friday. What an afternoon! It was amazing to see all the variety of kapa-haka, dance and wearable art. We sang He Honore at the end and everyone could hear us at the back. We'll be there next year for sure!

Ultranet with Buddy Class

Ultranet will be used to communicate our learning with the wider school community. 

We helped our buddies log onto the ultranet.

We showed them how to send a message, change their pictures  and access their class space.

We will be able to send them work and they can comment on it and tell us where we could be better. 

Yay to Ultranet!
