What is a Pou?

 


A Pou is a supportive pole or pillar.  The Poutokomanawa is the centre pole of the meeting house.  Our pou at school were placed in the earth today around our school field.  Our pou represent the four syndicates and their meanings are the poutokomanawa of our school! The syndicate names are from our school logo.  Thank you Mrs Barbara for your guidance and the information about the pou.

Special mention to the amazing helpers who dug the holes and erected the pou.  He mihi nui ki a koutou.

The World is not a Dump Play.

Unhinged Productions performed a play with an important message.  Based on the book by Nikki Slade Robinson, the message of the play was to think about "stuff" before it is thrown into a landfill.  This environmental performance was great.  Noel Ratapu a former Central School Student was in the play.  Thank you Unhinged productions for coming to entertain us as well as pass on an important message.

Science Extension - Kaitlin, Joseph and Cole

The science class that Mrs Jentson and Mrs Bush organised for a few schools was  really fun. Some people might find science boring, but I found it really interesting. I've learnt that there are four chambers in your heart. The valves in your heart are like doors, but the blood only flows one way. The valves open and shut 80 times a minute. I thought the science class was awesome.
-Cole Bava


As Cole said, the science extension was the best I've ever been to. I have learnt so much in such a fun way. They showed you what they were doing and not with fake things- they were real. My favourite part was when they dissected the sheep heart. Did you know that all mammals have a four chamber heart? All reptiles have a three chamber heart, but the crocodile is the only reptile with a four chamber heart. All fish have a two chamber heart. I would love to go to another science extension class.
-Joseph Burt

Two hearts.  One belonging to a horse the other a sheep.  I'm sure you can guess which belongs to what animal.

Kaitlin also enjoyed the day.  Well done.  Photos taken by Cole.

Te Papa Visit

On Tuesday our class room 13 went to the museum. We went to talk about our taonga. Then someone from our group had 30 seconds to grab 5 things to dress up in to take photos in.  We were either in a group with Ati, Kimberley, Khali or Herbee. Then we all spread out across the museum and took photos of us in our dress up costume with our taonga doing a  cool pose. (Sam B)


Why visit Te Papa when Te Papa can visit us? 
The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa is coming to Gisborne! The Education and Discovery Centre teams will be based at Tairawhiti Museum for a week of exciting art workshops and learning programmes. Schools in the Gisborne area are taking part in free hands-on workshops, exploring kākahu (cloaks), taonga (treasures) and their connection to the area of Gisborne. Two large artworks, in the form of cloaks, will be created by the students, using digital photography and mixed media. The cloaks will be on display at Tairawhiti Museum and then at Te Papa in Wellington for thousands of visitors to see. (from Te Papa Blog)http://blog.tepapa.govt.nz
