Room 18's Mihi

Room 18 have been learning to say their Mihi.

We learned that a Mihi is a short greeting to introduce our self to other people in te reo Maori. 

Room 18's Mihi includes where we come from, our nationality (iwi), our landmarks; mountain (maunga) and river (awa), our school and own name.

To know who we are, we have to know where we come from.

Here is Alysha's Mihi.

She has practised her Mihi over the last three weeks and she can say it without looking at her notes.  Well done Alysha!

 

Here is Carlos's Mihi.

Here is Devon's Mihi.

FW: Room 18's Korowai

Room 18’s Korowai

Room 18 has had a very busy three weeks getting to know each other and establishing routines in our class.

Together we have created our class treaty and formed a class korowai (cloak).

First we decorated the feathers at the top of the korowai. We then read the book The Tree Hut Treaty and brainstormed all the ways in which our classroom could be made a positive and healthy learning environment for everyone.

When we finished we all agreed to which statements were to go on our Korowai and made feathers where we signed our name on them.

Our korowai is like a protective cloak over our classroom making everyone feel safe and secure.
