Art Gallery Trip

On Friday 25th March, Kindle 1 and 2 visited the Art Gallery. Mr Neumegan showed and talked to us about some of the art works in the gallery and then we got to make our own. We made korowai (cloaks) and decorated them with our favourite things. We had lots of parent helpers which was much appreciated by the teachers.

In the swim

What a busy week at school last week! In Maths we have started a gingerbread man themed measurement unit on length. On Wednesday we started our 8 day swimming block for 2011. Each day we leave school at 9.30 and walk to D.N.I pool. We swim from 10.00 till 10.30am then get dried and dressed. The walk back to school is a little slower, we arrive at around 11.10am - half way through playtime. There were some very tired children at school on Friday afternoon, not to mention their teacher!

Harakeke Putiputi

During Term One, the children of Kindle 2 went to visit Mrs Yeoman each Friday to learn some Te Reo and Tikanga Maori. We also enjoyed singing new songs. Mrs Yeoman showed us how to make a flower (putiputi) using flax (harakeke).
