Kapa Haka

Here is our Kapa Haka group performing at Waimea College last week. The best bit was seeing the confidence and real sense of achievement as the children left the stage. Ka mau te wehi tamariki ma.

Kapa Haka Fun Day at Waimea College

I was at kapa haka. I was so nervous. It was our go but it was really fun. After our performance I wanted to do it again.

Hip Hop People

The hip hop people came to our school and taught us a dance. We practiced step by step, then tried it with music./span>

We got better and better then half of us sat down then the other half danced then we swapped.
Then we had to go back to class. Now that was cool!

Basketball

When I was playing basketball outside I was mainly getting the ball inside the hoop. It was really fun. (Marley)

Place Value

Place Value is all about the value of a digit in a number. In 651, the digit 5 has a Place Value of 50.

We learnt about Place Value by looking at the houses in Mathsville...
