Akomanga 4 - Term One 2022 Week 1-3 Kia ora e te Whānau, We have had a busy 3 weeks back at kura. It was awesome to have almost all of my (your) tamariki return to kura and we have all been amazing at adjusting to our new normal. The first week we did activities about getting to know our classmates and also sharing things about ourselves. We completed a puzzle piece about ourselves that is now displayed on our akomanga wall.. We have been learning the kupu in te reo Māori for many of the classroom objects we use and the tamariki have turned it into a fun game that they can play independently at any time. We also have been getting outside for hakinakina everyday. The tamariki have been showing some excellent ball handling skills and also some amazing teamwork and aroha towards each other. We have all been participating in some hauora activities, which included using natural resources to make something that represents ourselves. There were some fantastic creations and the messages
