Researching successful New Zealanders

This afternoon we spent some time in groups researching about successful New Zealanders.  We have been learning how to use key words to find out the most important pieces of information from what we read and write about the facts in our own words.  We used internet sites and books to search for new information.  

Calendar Art

Today we worked on our kiwiana art!  We are creating paintings that can be turned into calendars for our friends and families.  It has been very tricky trying to use a paintbrush to add detail to our pictures.

Weaving with Whaea Anna

We had a lot of fun learning to weave flax flowers with Whaea Anna last week.  We also practised our weaving by making some colourful baskets.
