Haka at the Waiuru Army Museum
After our lessons and tour around the Waiuru Army Museum the boys wanted to say thank you to our leaders and show their respect in such a special place..They performed a haka in the place at the museum, where soldiers are sworn into the army after their training. Everyone felt the goosebumps during this.

Zaytaleah
When we went to the top of the mountain to have a look at the amazing view we found a great slope to slide down. We all had a go. Here is a video of Zaytaleah sliding down the slope. It was lots of fun.
YEAR 7 AND 8 SKI CAMP
Wow what a week at the snow we have had. The year 7 and 8 students have just returned from an amazing week at the snow. We travelled to National Park on the Monday, an 8 hour bus trip. On Tuesday we had our first day up Whakapapa Ski Field. Everyone had a lesson and quickly got he hang of skiing. We skied for the next 2 days. We did a ride up to the top of the maunga to enjoy the amazing view. On the Thursday we went to the National Army Museum. We had the best week. Here are some photos from the week.

Tuna Zentangle
We have finally finished our tuna zentangle art and are pretty proud of how they look. We did this for art as part of our tuna study last term but our manu taratahi took so long to make that we ran out of time to finish the zentangle.
First, we learnt what zentangle is. It is a type of doodling that was designed to help relax and calm the mind. We then drew a basic outline of a tuna on white paper. Next, we added our zentangle designs with pencil and when we were happy with them we went over them with black vivid. Finally, we cut out the tuna, glued it onto tin foil, cut that out and pasted it onto coloured paper. We hope you enjoy our work!

Hinaki Week
So at the end of last term we had a Tuna and Takakau week at school. In room 5 and 6 we designed and made our own hinaki in a hope of catching a tuna. When we had made them we walked to the local farm and set our hinaki. The next day we returned hopeful to have a tuna in them. Unfortunately they were empty. Here are some pictures of our hinaki.
