Learning about the Waitangi Day



















 We started our experience with gathering information about what we knew about the Waitangi Day.  We watched a PowerPoint and after that the fun started. With a help of props we re-enacted these historical events through a lense of conflict. Whilst the children had fun, they learned about resilience, perseverance and relationships.  We celebrated with waiata by Anika Moa and a made up song:

Sail  sail, sail your ship

All the way from Britain 

Oceans, rivers, trees and birds

Land of Long, White Cloud

Share, share,  share your land

It's so beautiful 

Tahi, rua  toru  wha

Keep New Zealand clean 

Sign,  sign   sign the Treaty

Most of the iwi did

Remember our history

2021 Here We Go










Welcome to Room 18

We're a Middle School-Year 3/4 with Miss Lang as a classroom teacher and Miss Lee as a Student-teacher. Today we've spent some time in getting to know each other.  Here are some pictures of our "Me Too" game. Each student had to say three things about themselves.  If there was someone that had something in common they had to say "me too" and a ball of string was passed on. Not only we could see that we're alike but in the end the class caught Miss Lang in their string web.
