We recieved an email about our film today...

Ka pai tamariki ma!!!   I was so impressed by your film festival last week.  I thought that your film was just wonderful and I really loved the mad scientists, the cool songs and dancing and how you acknowledged everyone who helped you on your learning journey....and how exciting to be on the big screen!!  You are great kaitiaki of your local environment and are doing a fantastic job of putting your knowledge into action and also sharing your knowledge within your community.  I would love to have a copy of the film to put up on our website to show other Drains to Harbour kids if that is OK with you all.  Keep being cool and I'll see you round.
Haere ra,

The Magic 'e'

We have been learning about the magic 'e'. We discovered that the magic 'e' makes us say the name of the vowel in a word.

                  hat has a short 'a' sound, but if we add an 'e' to the end the 'a' becomes a long 'a' sound (it says it's name) so the new word is hate.

Listen to this song for other examples and see if you can sing along.
