Marae Visit Tuesday 12 June

Dear Parents

 Our visit to Orakei Marae is coming very soon. We will need to be at school by 8.45am.
We leave school at 9.10am and return by 1.00pm.
It would be best to wear gumboots as it can be very muddy. Please no lace ups as we will be taking out shoes off and on several times.
We are looking forward to a great day.
Our programme includes rarangi that is flax weaving, kapahaka and spending time in the wharenui.

Please send in those permission notices as soon as possible.

Kind regards
Vanita Chandra.

Autumn Leaves 

I found some leaves 

On the ground

The leaves are yellow

orange and brown

The wind has blown them down.

 

Autumn coloured  Bowls.

First we covered the washing powder scoops with  vaseline.

We put plastic over the scoop and then more vaseline.

We tore tissue paper strips - yellow, orange, red.

We covered the scoop with glue and then put layers of tissue paper. Sometimes we could change and make a

                                           mixed colour bowl. We had to leave them to dry. 

When they were dry, they were quite hard.

                                             

 We think they are pretty - Jesse

When we 

were working on them our  hands   got very sticky -Reign.  

                                           It was lots of fun- Lukardia.

 It was fun learning how to do them- Jamie

 I liked making my bowl - Stanislas

                                           Once it was dried touching it was fun. It felt smooth- Juliet
