What a great start to the year all Weka Iti students have made. And what a delight they are, all 5 of them. Here is their 1st BLOG post…….This is our 1st week at school. We have 5 students in our class. We have been very busy learning different things about school. Salem said her favourite part of school is handwriting. Kahlo has really enjoyed playing on the playground with everyone. Rogan can read a book and likes reading. Alita made some red play dough for the class. Oscar has enjoyed looking at our monarch caterpillars. They sure eat a lot of leaves. Mrs Scott said “this is going to be a great year!”
Te Tiriti o Ata Hāpara
Last week we were learning about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and created our own agreement for our tēina, Te Tiriti o Ata Hāpara. Our 5 main values we agreed to were
- Whakarongo (1 command, 1 person talking)
- Manaakitanga (Take care of each other)
- Tiakina ngā taonga (Look after our things)
- Hīkoi (walking inside)
- Tātou, tātou (Share and take turns)
We have made sure we have had multiple opportunities to practise these throughout our learning. Studio play, team building, PMP, Cybersmart, Te Reo Māori, Art, Kapa Haka and kaukau have filled our days before starting our Literacy and Maths routines next week.

Paragraph 1
I’ve never been to the Whanganui River, but it’s still where I am from, and one day I will go there, and I will feel confident and safe there because that’s where my ancestors are from, and my family and I love being at a river, no matter which one it is, so I can’t wait to be there at the river so ill feel safe and confident there.
Home to me means my family my friends anything that makes me feel safe or happy is home to me.”
CRICKET!!!!!!!!
Hello fellow people you are all amazing by the way but anyways this afternoon I played a game and I want you to try guess what game I played? Did you guess correct I played CRICKET! I think I crushed it I thought I crashed that ball high up in the sky like a firework. And there´s another thing that I dominated it was the bat I smashed it into the ball like I was The strongest person in the WORLD. The guy that taught us how to play these games is so cool. He told us exactly how to play kinda like a warm up for real cricket. Now for the end of this discussion I have a question for all of you who is your favourite professional cricket player????

This afternoon we played cricket in the domain! It was so fun. Let me tell you all about it.
First, we played a game where you had a bunch of tennis balls and 2 teams. Each team had to roll the tennis balls to the other side. there were 3 dodgeballs. the tennis balls were worth 1 point and the dodgeballs were worth 2. The team with the least balls win!
Then, we played a game similar to cricket. There were two teams, one fielding and the other batting.
The batting team would split themselves in half again. each half would go to a bat. When the batters hit the balls the fielders would run and put them back.
Have you ever played cricket?

Cricket 2026
Today we played cricket with Dan and I reckon I might have done pretty good. I'm not the best cricket player but I tried my best when I played it though. I like playing cricket I reckon that I might ask my dad to buy me a cricket set then I will play with him in my local park! But if my dad says no I'm gonna ask him again and again oopsy...That's the end!!

Today at school we had a cricket game in Rawhiti domain. It was with the cricket instructor Dan and we played two games. The first game was about fielding there were two teams and each team had to roll balls on to each other’s side . On the next game there was a feilding team and a batting team. the bating team had to hit the ball and run. the feilding team had to get the ball and get the bating team out. Over all I had a fun time and would you try this?

Fun Cricket Madness ! !
After lunch time my class and I did some cricket games today, with Dan from Canterbury Cricket in the Rawhiti Domain ! There was this game we played with rolling balls and my team won once which is alright, at least we all had fun. After that game we played a game similar to cricket. Instead of cricket balls it was tennis balls and instead of a wooden cricket bat it was a plastic bat ! I think that this was fun and cool to do. I enjoyed doing the rolling ball game !!
My question for you is…
DO YOU LIKE CRICKET ? !

Amazing Cricket!
Today we played Cricket with a guy called Dan and he taught us some cricket skills. The first skill he taught us was where you had to get the tennis balls and through the tennis balls to the other side so we split up in two teams and started. The first team one two rounds and the second team one once.After we did that we went over the other side of the domain and did hitting and catching. If you were hitting you had to hit two balls before you could run back and forth and then if you were catching you had to stand still until the hitters hit both balls and then you had to go and get the balls and put them back on the tea. Then we kept on switching sides until the end. Do you know how to play cricket?
