Final Days of Term 1

School Kit Postcards

This week we received a package from our sister school Waimairi in Christchurch, which we had

earlier sent our School Kit postcards to. The package was full of postcards written by their students!

We enjoyed reading these and putting together the puzzle they had coloured for us. Next term

we plan to write back to them.

Turangawaewae Inquiry

In the last few days of term, all students completed their inquiry into Trading on the River as part of our

Turangawaewae Inquiry.  The students chose a variety of ways to display their learning such as Book

Creator, Pic Collage, Posters, Video and Google slides. The students then presented their work to the

Year 1 & 2 classes.

Have a safe and restful holiday.

Following the style of Romero Britto

After the Christchurch attack our class created some pieces of art to symbolise how we felt. We followed the bold and colourful style of Brazilian artist Romero Britto. Romero Britto believes that the role of an artist is to be an agent of positive change.

Our colourful hearts reflect our respect for the uniqueness of every person and represent love, peace and hope. The original hearts have been laminated and are displayed on our class walls.

Each heart was also copied and arranged on a science board, this is displayed at the St. Andrews library.
