RIVERDALE HANGI

Tonight is the Te Puawai Concert at school.  We also will be hosting our community hangi.  We went out and watched the men light the fire for the hangi.

We performed to our whanau.  We were amazing.

TE WIKI O TE MAORI

Today we celebrated Maori Language Week in truw Piako Rua style.

We had heaps of cool activities to complete and Pa Jack came and joined in too.

THE ART EXPO!

Over the weekend Piako Rua's fantastic art was displayed up at Soskey's cafe.  

Here are a few photos of the expo. 

 We think we are pretty awesome - we are real artists now!

We put in the art that we felt bet met the Success Criteria that Mrs Peck set at the start of the term.

100 Days Smarter Writing

We wrote some wonderful stories about our 100 day party today.  What do you think of them?  Leave us a comment.

"Yay!  It was soooo fun on our 100th day of school.  You could make paper chains with 100 chains, 100th hats, and 100th day glasses.  Pop!  Suddenly one of the balloons popped and gave everyone a big fright.  We also got to make fairy bread.  It was delicious".  By Emily & Blake

"Yay!  Yay!  Today is the 100th day.  I can make my own fairy bread.  I made my fairy bread but not blue.  So I ate fairy bread and then I went to the painting and then it was clean up time."  By Anushka

"Yay!  Yay! It's the 100th day today and I liked the paper chains and making the hats too because I like the hats".

"Yay!  Yay!  It's the 100th day today.  Mum I'm not sick.  I can go to school.  So my mum dropped me to school".  By Kaleb

HAPPY 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL

On the first day of Term Three we are celebrating our 100th day of School.

We are 100 days smarter! 

Hooray!

Our teachers have asked us to bring in 100 things.
Watch the videoes and get a few ideas!

Here are a few songs about 100 to get us in the mood to celebrate!

HAPPY RETIREMENT MRS JOHNSTON!

Here is our special gift that we made for Mrs Johnston in our office.  She retires at the end of the term and we wanted to say thank you and to wish her well.

We quietly snuck up to Mrs Johnston's window and sang this song for her ...

Mrs Johnston was very happy to see us.

We love you Mrs Johnston and we will miss you!

Our Concert

Wow!!!  What a fabulous concert we had today.  Thank you to all of our parents and families for coming to help us celebrate.  We had children share their instruments, piano playing and dancing.  We had singers, drummers and rock stars.  I'm sure you are as proud of your children as we are.  Congratulations Piako Rua!!! You are ALL superstars.
