Hat Parade

The children of Te Ako Kowhai love to design and create things so we decided to have a hat day. All the children were busy planning and then making their hats. Miss Morrison, Mrs Scott and Mrs Bell were on hand to help with the cutting and decorating and Mrs Kung had the tricky job of judging the best hats. Well done everyone and thanks to Miss Morrison and Mrs Scott who supplied the photos.

Measurement

This term as part of our maths, we have been learning about measurement.
Here is a slide show about our learning.

Autumn Leaf Art

We've been doing an art study on Autumn Leaves. We started by sketching leaves and making leaf rubbings. Then we created PVA print templates and had fun creating prints using Autumn colours.

Now it's  Te Ako Kowhai Question Time where our keen young interviewers are not afraid to ask the hard questions. Thanks Mrs Van Schaijik and Rika for helping our Junior Explorers with their interview techniques and camera work. Can't wait for the next episode.
