Matariki

We celebrated Matariki by planting garlic, making stars and putting glitter on the outside, making our own Matariki design and doing the Matariki dance.

Tonui Collab Visit

On Monday 17th 2019

A group called the Tonui Collab which you may know as The Mind Lab [they changed their name] came to Matawai School and we used a program called Plotagon. You create your own avatar and then get a scene and you plot what you would like do and say what you want to say onto your scene.

2019 About Me

Kia ora my name is Ropiha. I have two siblings and I live with my mum and dad. I am in year 5 at Matawai School. I am a Māori and I live in the North Island of New Zealand. 

I love maths and my teacher is good at helping us figure out strategies. I love writing and learning how to spell new words and also learning the meanings of those words. My challenges would be to get all my goals and writing and spelling every word possible that I can spell correctly. My goals for this year would be persevering and striving to be the best I can be. 

I am looking forward to learning new things this year about people that I never knew and and learning new things things in literacy. I love learning  so much that it's my strongest achievement and favourite thing to do. My favourite type of art is water colouring. Someone who inspires me to to do things and connect with others and my friends, my teacher and my parents.
