Ki O Rahi Tournament

To end Matariki we had our Ki O Rahi tournament.  Four Teams faced off in a round robin tournament with the two finalists being the teams with the most accrued points.

Team Red; Talia, Ashleigh, Nikita, Patrick, Te Aute and Vaea played Team Blue; Hugo, Mrdina, Ethan, Jess, Fergus, Jeremiah and Alison in a hard fought and exctiting final.

At the end of full time the scores were tied at 2 all.

We played an extra minute each way to come up with a winner, in the last 30 seconds Team Blue scored the deciding point. Team Red were gracious in defeat and played a great game.

Pink Group Papyrus

In Pink group, we have been reading a book called Sandstorm. We did a presentation about hieroglyphics and papyrus paper. We drew hieroglyphics and Egyptian symbols.  We made the papyrus by boiling tea and dipping it in it when the tea cooled down. We left it overnight and drew our pictures, and then some of us painted it and some shaded it.
