Kiwi Sport
On Tuesday we arrived at
Park Island ready for adventure. We competed in 3 different sports, these were;
Soccer, t-ball and hockey. We were in 8 teams, which we the same as the soccer
field day and fitness teams.
We came across different
teams from different schools in our area.
Teams had mixed results,
but everyone had a great day. Thanks to the parents who helped out.

ART WITH RAE
On Wednesday we were
lucky enough to have Rae Hendry in our class taking art. The art that we did
was based on the stars of Matariki. She showed us pieces of art from other
artists, these were our inspiration.
We each had an A3 star
and access to warm and cold primary coloured paint as well as black and white paint.
First we had to draw our
design on the star. Then we painted our background, if we wanted different
colours we had to carefully mix them. Once the background was painted we had
details using a smaller brush.
Once they were dry we
carefully cut them out and put them onto black paper.
They look very unique;
every one of them is different.

MATARIKI
On Thursday night we had
our school Matariki evening. First we meet together in the assembly and sung
two Maori songs as a school. Then Mrs Bevis shared what was happening in each of
the classes. Families were free to move around the classes and complete the
different activities. Some of the activities were; flax weaving, paper stars,
kites, thousand stars in chalk and a story of Matariki. Outside there were braziers
where you could toast marshmallows. At the end we all meet together and
released Chinese Lanterns.
It was a very cold but
great night.
