The Poi Dance

Here is the poi dance that the dance group showed at the Exposition. See if you can spot: steam rising from Rotorua, beaches, the Sky Tower, planes bringing visitors to New Zealand and Eden Park. Great choreography dance group!

Room 15's Amazing Stop Motion Movie



We loved this!

Exposition of Welcomes


Here we are waiting patiently for our exposition to start. The hall looked fabulous.

Caitlin and Finn did a wonderful job welcoming everyone with our speech about what we had been learning. They spoke very clearly and with lots of expression.
David Shearer, our local MP, came to see all the fantastic work.

The brochures looked great and were full of very useful information. Well done brochure group.

The baking was very popular! Well done bakers.

The mural group did a wonderful job explaining their ideas to our guests, and their art was beautiful. Well done artists.

The dance group did very well too, even coping with some tangled poi!The video of their dance was watched by lots of people.
Well done everyone, I am very proud of your hard work and how much you have learnt about belonging and welcoming.

Still Getting Ready....


We have been making poi ready for the dance group to perform on Friday. Rosie managed to plait her cord by using her toe as a holder!


Luckily we had Jennie to help because the plaiting was actually quite hard. The poi look amazing though.



Today has been a baking day, ANZAC biscuits and dulce de leche biscuits. More baking tomorrow when we make the lamingtons and cupcakes. We have had fun making them and are very grateful to Janine, Jill, Jennie and Sophie for coming and helping us. You will be able to taste all our delicious treats on Friday when you come to the Exposition of Welcomes. See you there.
