PRAYER STONES - OUR TAONGA

As part of our learning about Taonga / Treasure, we made prayer stones in Room 1. Prayer stones help us to focus on being at peace with God during prayer time.

The object of this task was to create a taonga or treasure to give to somebody special, in the hope that our prayer stones will become a taonga to them.

We started with a plain stone. Then we had to choose a colour to paint our stone. Our next task was to think about what to put on our stone ... and we came up with many wonderful words that remind us of God and Jesus - love, peace, hope, trust, joy, care, manaaki, aroha.

Finally, we used stickers and craft bits and pieces to decorate our stones.

The results are amazing ...

Room 4 Treasures

We have been bringing treasures from home that are special to our family. We told the class all about them and why they are treasures to us.

Maths Websites

Here is a fun maths website that we enjoy in Room 9. Parents can use it at home as well. It will be suitable for all levels in the junior syndicate.
