Duffy Book Week!!

This week was Duffy Book week. It started off with 

Duffy Theatre where we learnt about the importance of reading. 

We had lots of fun and we loved the part when Maui was chasing the Sun! 

On Tuesday we had our Duffy Role Model Assembly! 

We were very excited to meet Michel Mulipola who is 

a famous New Zealand comic artist and wrestler! 

Hyrum was our Duffy caught being good winner and was so excited to meet Michel and have his photo taken! 

At the end of the day we opened our Duffy Box and 

received our brand new Duffy Books!! 

Tongan Language Week!

This week the Determined Dinosaurs have been learning about the Tongan language and culture! 

Our challenge for the week was to make our own

                                   Tapa Cloth. 

We spent lots of time looking at different Tongan patterns for our Tapa cloth and learning about what they represent. 

Take a look at what we got up to this week! 

We were very excited about receiving our very own Tapa Cloth from one of our kind parents! We can't wait to proudly display it in our classroom! 

The Dinosaurs were so excited for the Tongan Performance today. It was extra exciting because one of our class members Latai was one of the beautiful Tongan dancers!
