Counting in Afrikaans

Watch this clip to learn to speak in Afrikaans, Zakumi's official language that he speaks. Room 2 have been learning this and we think we can now do it really well. We wll broadcast ourselves really soon!

Welcome back to Term 3

We had a fabulous holiday and are all very eager to catch up ith Zakumi and take him home to teach him lot's about our place, Rotorua and New Zealand.
We hope to teach the children in South Africa some more things about New Zealand.
We will learn and then teach them...
* How to count to 10 in maori
* A maori legend that is important to Rotorua
* A litte waiata ( maori songs)
* and hopefully some e-learning skills such as blogging, voicehtread and useful
learning sites on the internet.
Tahi, rua, toru! One, two, three! Let's get connected!
