Welcome to Team Toru! We are a super Year 1 and 2 class of fabulous learners at Mahora School, Hastings. Our teacher is Mrs Gempton. We hope you enjoy sharing our learning journey this year!
Today we were looking at Tapa Cloths and how these are created. We looked at the patterns and designs on these. Using this as a starting point, we created our own tapa inspired patterns using jovi crayon and black vivids. We think we did a pretty amazing job! Here are 6 of our creations so far...
This morning we had Shop Day. The Year 6 children had stalls selling lollies, bracelets, cakes, fruit kebabs, sausages, playdough... as well as car rides, a water slide and horse rides... not to mention nail painting and hair chalking! Team Toru had a fabulous time supporting this wonderful event!
Today some Year 6 children visited us to talk about Shop Day. There is going to be horse rides, a car ride, face painting and lots of yummies to buy... I wonder what else there will be? REMEMBER to bring along some money for tomorrow!
We have been keeping a bean diary for the last five weeks, to monitor the growth of our bean seeds. This was the last entry in our diary. Here are some wonderful entries :-)
We have had the most amazing Grandparent's Day today! Lots of whanau arrived to celebrate this very special morning. Team Toru were able to share their learning with their families and then share lunch. Thank you so much to all of those lovely Grandies, Dads and Mums who came along to this special celebration!
We had 8 children from Team Toru perform at the Junior Kapa Haka Festival on Thursday. Check out the photos of these excited children getting ready to perform...
