Maori Matching words for a powhiri

This week we have been doing some Te Reo Maori. Some people used Google Translate, and some just know from their own brain. We also colour coded it so that we know what the Maori words mean in English.  These are words that would be used during a powhiri.

Lit Quiz Kerikeri

Hello,
Yesterday was Lit Quiz, and it went ok. We entered two teams and my team came last. We went up against year 7's and 8's and year six's. It was held in the Kerikeri primary school hall. They asked 50 questions. There were also some questions where you could win 5 dollars or get everyone in your team 20 dollar gift cards. The other Ohaeawai team came 20th out of 29. Sorry no Photos.

Cricket

Kia Ora,
This week we split up in 2 groups and went out to Cricket and we each had a coach. I had Neil and the  others had another guy named Ben. We learnt techniques for throwing the ball, and catching it. Finally we actually got to play speed cricket. We had two teams made out of our one team. My team lost!!!!!
But it was fun. Sorry no photo's :(
