Maraia - Mother's day mass

 

Mother's day mass

 Today we had a very special mass. We were celebrating Mother's Day early. Some mother's came and celebrated with us in mass.


In class this week we made our very own Mother's Day cards. First we folded a red cardboard paper in half, then we made a heart out of a to stirps of paper and then glued the bottom of a stripped paper onto the front of the card. 


When then we shaped the two stripped papers into a heart we quilled paper and then glued the strips or quilled paper inside the heart. The we let our cards dry for one day. 


Here is what I wrote

I appreciate my mother because she always helps me with my work.

I know my mum loves me because when I am sad or angry she will give me hugs.

I love my mum because whenever I make a decision she supports me   


This is a picture of all our cards

Maraia - Te Arapū Māori, the Māori alphabet

 Te Arapū Māori, the Māori alphabet

Today in TWP4 we did a extra for experts activity.
We learnt about the Māori alphabet (arapū) is made up of eight consonants, five vowels and two digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that combine to form one sound.
 Oropūare and Orokati means Vowels and Consonants.
Something I found out is that when a letter has a hat or a macron you have to drag it.

Maraia - Oropūare and Orokati, Vowels and Consonants​

 Oropūare and Orokati, Vowels and Consonants​


Today for Maori we refreshed our memories about the Maori alphabet by learning all of the letters again and by a song.

The Maori Alphabet ( Arapu ) is made up of eight consonants​, five vowels and two digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that combine to form one sound.

I really liked doing this activity plus it was really easy to do because we already knew part of it. we had to know the difference between long vowels and short.
