Onosa'i and Logan from Room 17 have their first podcast for 2011 to share with the world!

They have been reading "Jim's Run" by John Parker.

KPE Episode 342: "Tree Hut Treaty"

Kobe and Logan are now in Room 17 and they have chosen the well known New Zealand book, "Tree Hut Treaty" by Wiremu Grace for their first podcast for 2011.

This book is based around the themes of the Treaty of Waitangi and explores the ideas of Partnership, Participation and Protection.  The story of kids in the same street learning to share a tree hut, and the treaty they sign to protect their rights, is quite similar to what happened in New Zealand way back when the European settlers and Maori leaders did a similar thing.

Then when Dad has to go away to war, Dot is given a new responsibility - Boxer.  We know you will enjoy hearing about this book from these two year 5 boys.

KPE Episode 283: "Fishing for Octopus"

"Fishing for Octopus" by Feana Tu'akoi is one of the stories in a school Journal that Kobe and Logan have been reading. This story is set in Tonga and we think the title gives you a pretty good idea what the story is about! Haven't these boys done well with their first podcast!
