Kotahitanga Certificates

Kotahitanga is our value of collaborating and in child speak this is;

 Share and take turns

Help and encourage others

Our certificate awards go to Jackson and Beckett this week. We have seen that these two can work well with a wide range of children always sharing ideas and taking turns. They are especially good at noticing others who need encouragement and help. We are so proud of them.

 

Whanau Art Competition

All the children designed a piece of art to support their whanau group for a competition.  The awesome news is that Ashley Fisher won for Team Whero! He was presented with some really cool art materials as a prize!

Kaitiakitanga Art

As part of our values the children have looked at art to show the whenua (Land) and wai (water).  We introduced the children to koru art and the use of different mediums, pastels, vivd, paints and dye. We are really impressed with the children's use of korus and colour to represent the care they want for the land.  

Take a look at wonderful pictures below.

Autumn Leaf Art

Today we brought in heaps of autumn leaves and the children created amazing art inspired by this video.
