We have a pepeha for our school.

Do you have one?

Can you see our school name in Te Rep Māori?

Manaaki

We work really hard at showing Manaaki at our school and in our class.

Here's how we do it.

What do you do that is like us?

Morning Greetings

Everyday we start our day together with Karakia and singing.

We have lots of favourite songs.

We are learning how to say the days of the week

Yoga with Koka Wendy

Writing by Ataahua and Kowhai

Yoga with Koka Wendy

Today we did yoga with our new yoga teacher. Her name is Koka Wendy. She was fun to learn from. I liked laying back and relaxing. We had to close our eyes and focus on our breathing. She was really nice and she showed manaaki.By Ataahua Williams (Year 2)

In the afternoon  Koka Wendy came to show us some yoga. She taught us some things like the mouse pose and the rolling panda. She showed us how to be calm and relaxed. We sang Putiputi to Koka Wendy and all the Elgin kids said “Bye Koka Wendy!” By Kowhai Moa - Wharehinga (Year 3)

Today my mum went on a double Decker bus from Gisborne to Auckland. I am  happy because she is getting a new car. We had some pies for breakfast. My auntie and uncle came with me to have breakfast. By Fairlane

I made a dinosaur at school and I built it on my own. I was happy and I liked my
dinosaur. And I made the claws and I made the head. I made the tail and I
made the spikes. I made the mouth all by myself.
