Kia ora! Talofa! Malo e lelei! Mhoroi! Namastey!Welcome to Room 6 blogger. We will be sharing our learning with you as the year goes by. At present, we have 29 students in our class- 13 girls and 16 boys. One thing Mrs Adams has already discovered about us is that we are a lively bunch, who like to laugh a lot.
This year we have new names for our syndicates. We have been doing some writing about the names of our new syndicates and the trophies that go with the names.
Koru
The Koru reminds me of a fern. The Juniors are called Te Roopu
Koru because they are the new students. The Koru looks like a new kid starting
school. It sounds like Juniors asking what to do and where to go. It feels like
a different place from home.

The Matau
The middles are called ‘Te
Roopu Matau’ because the middles are
collecting the treasure in them before they move on to the seniors- then they
give their treasure away.
The
matau symbolises prosperity.
It
reminds me of a swamp and a fishing hook.
It
looks like a fishing hook and swamp.
It
feels like starting something new and growing up.
It
sounds like being nervous, scared and laughter.

Patu
The patu
symbolises leadership. It is like being a leader and a captain. It reminds me
of fishing.
The seniors
are called Te Roopu Patu because a patu is a weapon to take up challenges.
