Maui and the Giant Fish

We have been enjoying the legend of Maui and the Giant Fish. We are learning to re-tell a legend and include all of the important parts.
This is a simple video of the legend. It does not have all the parts we know,but we can use it to share the story with you.

Here is a re-telling of the legend with all the parts we know and it was made by children from Solway School, a few years ago.

Money Fun!

Today a very awesome person called Vane came to talk to us about money. He taught us about saving money and the difference between a credit card and an eft-pos card. We learnt that a credit card uses money you borrow from the bank and you pay it back with a little bit more ( interest). An eft-pos card uses your own money that you have saved in the bank. He told us we could start doing extra chores to earn money -not just tidy our bedroom,but everyones in the house!
He was very funny and made us pretend to go back in time. We also had to "train" to do chores to earn money.   Written by Matai Students.

Here are a couple of photos of Vane in action.

Welcome to our class blog! We are a group of 24 fabulous Year 2 and 3 children. We love to learn and to share the fun things we are doing in Matai with you.
