The Kahurangi Dancers
Te Anau School were lucky enough to watch the Kahurangi
Dancers. They were a group of
traditional Maori dancers that travelled all over New Zealand. They got Mr Rush up to have a go using a
traditional Maori stick, he had to copy after a dancer. There were two girls
and four boys. They had been together
for a month and a half. They performed
for about 45 minutes doing really cool dances that were based on Maori
legends. They did poi dances and Maori
war dancers. It was a great show.

South Spell 2014
12 students from Room 12 were selected to go to the South Spell competition. We were spilt into 3 different groups of 4. There was 42 groups overall. The spelling test was divided into 10 different categories. We were supplied with a Mitre 10 pen, some scrap paper so we didn't shout out the answer and a piece of paper to write the right answer on. Just about every parent that came offered their vehicle. We had a blast working together as a group. We were spilt apart when we got to the desks so we couldn't cheat (although we wouldn't!!). We were about a metre away from the next group of kids. The names of the people who got through to South Spell are: Lydia, Rosie, Thomas, Connor, Jessica, Esther, Tessa, Emmerson, Luke, Samantha, Lindsay, Jake. We think it's a great opportunity and everyone should try and aim to get through to South Spell.
A huge thanks to everyone who helped us.

Te Anau School Hangi
On the third of July Te Anau School had a hangi to celebrate the end of their Matariki topic. Over Term 2 we all did lots of art through out the classes. At the start of the term Room 12 was put in charge of digging the hangi. Over a few weeks we completed it. It was hard work. When the day came for our hangi it was cancelled but Redcliff restaurant kindly cooked our vegetables and Dale’s hangi team cooked the meat on BBQs. We also sang songs like at a traditional Matariki celebration.
We had some food once we sang our songs. Yum Yum. We had lots of different varieties of food like root vegetables and meat. We reckon the best one were the chops. Once we finished eating our parents looked through the classes. What a day. But it wouldn’t have been possible with out the parents, Dale’s team, the teachers, Redcliff, Kiwi Holiday Park for donating their place, Mr Rush and all the children.
