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.

 

Manawanuitanga Awards

DECHAN AND JAEGER ARE THE WINNERS OF THE MANAWANUITANGA AWARD!

So many of the children in Ahuriri try their best and persevere at things when they get hard.  We had a tricky job to decide but Jaeger and Dechan are really good at trying new things, never giving up and being their BEST selves!

Kaitiakitanga Awards

 

Felix and Pieter are our Kaitiaki Award Winners!

All the children in Ahuriri are amazing kaitiaki of our school however two children stand out as being very special.  Felix and Pieter are very proactive in looking after our school. They are brilliant when it is tidy up time at making sure everything goes back in the right place.   They are always on the look out for any rubbish to pick up and they love being in the forest to make sure the plants are growing and cared for.  We are very proud to award Pieter and Felix with the Kaitiaki Award!
