St. Johns Visit

We know how to call 111 to ask for an ambulance. We never call 111 for fun because this wastes the ambulance officers time. We need to slowly push the buttons on the phone - say 1 go,1 go, 1 then push green button. Say ambulance please. Talk slowly and clearly. We will be asked three important questions. What is your address of the emergency? Need to know your suburb.second question: what is your phone number. Third question: what has happened?

Viking and Maori Village

Today we made a Maori village and a Viking village. We are learning to compare the similarities and differences between the villages. We can also think about the Howick Historical Village and how it is different.

Marae Visit

Trip to Hoani Waititi Marae

We got on the bus and headed for the Marae. The bus was big and yellow. It was really long. I sat with my mum. She was the parent helper. When we got off the bus, we were welcomed. We walked through the gate and onto the Marae. In front of us there was a big house called a Marae. Before we went in we had to take our shoes and gumboots off. When we got in the big marae we sat on Mattresses. They were soft. I looked around. There were patterns on the ceiling and carvings on the wall. There were some speeches and then Shane started to talk to us. Soon it was morning tea. After morning tea we went back to the big Marae. We played a hand game called Whitu. We had to pat our knees and count to seven in Maori. We did a few more things and then it was lunch. After lunch we did some dances and songs. Then we did the Haka. We went back to school on the big yellow bus. That was fun!
