WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL! 

WEEK 1, we had our Maori Language week and the word of the week was 'Apopo- Tomorrow'. 
Here is our 'Maori Language Week' Wall and some of the students' work! 


 This is our Maori Language Week Wall/Window Display! We've put our own design Tiki as well!! Well done Heroic Hawks! Ka pai! 

Every week this year, we will have a new Maori word of the week! Our first word was "Apopo- Tomorrow". Week 2's Maori word was "heihei- chicken". Everyone in Room 19 is practicing how to say the word in/out of class! Even Mr Yoon is practicing!!
