We went on a rubbish search.  We took the rubbish back to our class and sorted it out.

What kind of rubbish did we find?  What happens to the rubbish if it does not get picked up?   Rubbish Collection Video

Repiaou's Whakaapa





Repaiou's Whakapapa


Whakapapa is genealogy, a line of descent from ancestors down to the present day. Whakapapa links people to all other living things, and to the earth and the sky, and it traces the universe back to its origins.
From http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/whakapapa-genealogy

In TRRR1 we are just starting to learn our Whakapapa and to
stand up in front of other people to speak.
Tino Pai Rawa Repaiou

Thank you Whaea Grace for helping us learn our Whakapapa.
