This week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Maori language week). We are learing some new waiata. Our favourite is Pu Kupu Maori by Hirini Melbourne.
We are also learning about what it is like to live with a disability. Today Mrs Cassin came to talk to us about what it is like to be blind. She brought her guide dog, Peddie.
We learnt that the Foundation of the Blind chose Peddie for Mrs Cassin. We also learnt that when a guide dog is wearing it's harness it is working. We shouldn't pat a guide dog when it is working because it might get distracted and make the person bump into something.
We thanked Mrs Cassin for coming and we enjoyed learning from her.
Our sounds this week are t, i, ee, and or. Our words are this and are.
In PE we are learning to skip. We all work hard at this and are getting better.

That is so cool Room 10 that you have had a visit from Mrs Casin. She is coming to speak to Room 9 next week. I will make sure I share with Room 9 all of the important tips you learned about how to behave when around a guide dog.
