Myth's and legends

By Jess

 This term, Karitane school kids are studying Myth's, Legend's and god's.

So far, they have determined the meaning of a myth, and other information, and each chosen a Maori god to draw and research. Here are some examples. 

  • Papatuanuku- The Earth Mother
  • Rankinui- The Sky Father
  • Tane mahuta- God of forests and birds
  • Tawhiri matea- God of weather, wind and lighting
  • Haumia-tiketike- God of uncultivated food
  • Rongomatane - God of cultivated plants
  • Tangaroa- God of sea

    Tumatauenga- God of war and hunting

    Ruamoko    - God of earthquakes

    Rehua - Star god with the power to heal

    If you click on the names some of them may take you to a new site to learn more about them.

 On the 30th and 1st of March, Karitane School will be going on a school camp to Camp Columba, Gore. Some of the activities include abseiling, rock climbing, ziplining, flying weka, and high ropes. We can't wait to find out what activities our teachers have chosen for us! It costs $100 per kid and $60 per adult for Karitane school kids. It's about 2 hours and 30 minutes away from the school, and parents are welcome to drive their own kids if they have paid and are coming! Most of the kids are very excited and some have even already been one or two times! There are some more picture's of the camp down ↓↓↓ the page! Jess

Buddy Bench

 The Buddy bench is a new bench for Karitane school.  It is by were the hose used to be and is a place for lonely kids to come together and play with each other! This is a great addition to the school and will help bring the children together. Here is an image of the bench. I hope this affects the playground in a positive way that will bring more of the children together, and will last longer than some of the other chairs. It will also be good for when you just want someone to talk to or want to do some reading or drawing! Jess
