Kahurangi Dance Group

We were treated to a performance by Kahurangi a dance group from the North Island.

They told us Maori legends through dance. We loved their traditional Maori costumes. We saw lots of koru on their costumes. Now we are spotting koru everywhere!! Our favourite part was when they showed us how they use weapons and even got some Gore Main boys up to demonstrate too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Goodbye Mrs McWhiter

Our wonderful teacher aide Mrs McWhirter is leaving to start a new job in a gift shop in Gore. We have loved having her in Room 3 and she has been a fantastic teacher. Here is our video of all of the things we love about Mrs McWhirter.

10. Horoia ō ringaringa (Wash your hands)

Swimming

We have just had two weeks of swimming each day at the Gore pool. Before each swimming session we also got to go into the multi sports centre to practise our ball skills. We were very tired after two weeks of ball skills and swimming! Here is a video of our super swimming skills and some swimming masterpieces we created last week.
