Collaborative Groups

We are working on a group of questions given to us by Whaea Stacey Anderson at Limehills School in the South Island.
What is your culture?
What do you do for fun?
What are your dreams for your lives?
Where do you come from?
What do you do outside?
What do you do after school?

Here we are working on these, we will post our answers when we are done.

Art Day

Room 9 had a fantastic session on Friday creating a stylised tree like the artist Kandinsky.
They all followed instructions well and used the materials to create their masterpiece. I was very impressed with the skill and ability to copy so well.
