Welcome matua Dylan!


 Patu 


Room 6 was very lucky to have matua Dylan visit us to show us his taiaha and patu.  He talked about what each were made of and gave us a demonstration of how they're used.




We all made our warrior faces!  

We even wrote our own stories about Maori warriors with taiaha and patu!

Ohau School Market Day!


Room 6 worked hard to create two products for Market Day.  We made cat boxes and balloon racers.  

We worked through a technology unit to learn how to create our new products.  We learned how to write a brief and a plan for our products.  We also learned how to make prototypes of our products and then we tested them.  This was the fun part - how fast could our balloon racers go!

Then the hard work started as we manufactured our products, marketed them and finally sold them at Market Day.

By the end of the night we had sold all of our cat boxes and only had two racers left!  The money we raised will go towards school camps and a new playground.
