He Mana To Te Kupu- Words Have Great Power

 Morena Class 6 Home Learners,


Yay, it's Friday, so I gave myself the special treat to bring one of my favourite people who made a difference:


Patricia Grace


You all know a bit about her, because I have read you quite a few of her children's book. Her adult books are fantastic too, you might like to try one for your reading challenge as an extra bonus challenge. Potiki and Chappy are amongst my Top 10. Her memoir From the Inside Out is also brilliant, but maybe a tad too adulty for you.




In your ML book, use the same format as you have done for the other people: Whakatauki at the top (see title), three paragraphs. See yesterday's blog for more detials. Provide a glorious picture of course, your ML book must be looking pretty awseome by now.

Friday is cooking lessons, so how about you surpsise your family and make a desert for tonight? Find a recepe, weight the ingredients (What? You are doing maths for FUN?) and fill the house with delicious smells. The best part is... you get to eat it afterwards.

Then we have music. How's your instrument practice going?

Get your parents (if they are not sick in bed) to test you on your spelling.

I hear that quite a few people are bored out of their minds. Well, here's a great boredom buster and a brilliant way to get those multiplication tables under your belt:

Is your Dragon Maths up to Page 31? And what are you reading at the moment?

Have a great weekend, see you Monday either in class or on the blog xxx

The Magic of Connections and a Quizz

 Ata marie Class 5, I hope this finds you all well- let's be honest, when the sun is shining, the tulips are flowering, new shoots on the roses are shooting and you have a great bean bag on the deck, lockdown is quite a treat, don't you think? I love it that you are all enthusiastically looking at Egypt and writing books, but make sure to enjoy that sunshine and make the best of that relaxation- it won't last forever... One of the strange positive side- effects of lockdown is that I connect with so many different people. That happened last time as well. The Theory of Angela is that normally, my day is so full of people (you!) and I am so satisfied on the People-Meter by the end of the day, that I don't really reach out much. Now of course, the People Meter is close to empty. And there is something magical in making connections- things happen. I am going to tell you the true stories of two connections with a magical touch I made in the last week. And if you're thinki

We Are Going On A Bear Hunt and We're Not Scared!

Kia ora amazing Class 4, I hope you all had a happy Easter and that the Essential Easter Bunny managed to reach you. Before I launch into today's task, here are some great pics which I found in my inbox today. I tell you, seeing some of you made me more happy than finding chocolate eggs! Emilia and her sister really love the painting Maia has a new bench buddy Measurement lessons in action with delicious results- maths is so much fun! Baxter not only worked his way to a chocolate fish- he thought the neighbours would enjoy it too so he drew another one on the concrete outside. ...and this is sitting on the MacArthur's mantel piece. I bet this will fill Jacinda's bucket. It sure made me happy! Love seeing pictures of you and seeing some of you on zoom, keep them coming! Let's start the next task. I cannot help but smile when I see all these bears on my walks. You all know the book right? It is one of the few books in our house whic

The Comfort of Good Food

Hello Class 4, hope you are well. It took me awhile to figure out what day of the week it was today, but I looked it up and it is Friday. I will give you a journal break over the weekend, some of you put a lot of effort in so you'll have the weekend to finalise or catch up any tasks. I have just seen Xanthe's title page of her journal which is sumptuous! It is inspired by two books she has been reading. I didn't even say you had to make a title page, it was her own initiative. Great work Xanthe. I am part of an online group called Dutchies in New Zealand. Normally we share relevant information or a joke which nobody else than us Dutch immigrants gets. Since the lock down, people suddenly started posting all sort of delicious food they had cooked using their Grandparents recipes. Straight away, I was back feeling like a child and smelling those delicious wafts of treats coming out of my Mum's kitchen. I saved all of the recipes those Dutchies shared and am planning t
