Today we celebrated our surroundings by creating art that features mountains and the sea. We used vivid for the outlines and experimented with mixing dye for the bright colours.

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude
We have been given a lovely Thank You Resource Kit by Creatrix (www.thecreatrix.co.nz) so we have been discussing what it means to be grateful.
The kit supplies Thank You cards which we have written to people to show our gratitude. We talked about being specific.
This lovely book also comes with the resource.

TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK 2015
Malo e lelei. Last week (Week 7), we celebrated Tongan Language Week. We practised greeting each other in Tongan, learnt some basic Tongan words, and created some fabulous art inspired by Tongan Tapa cloth. Tapa cloths are very important in the Tongan culture and are made for a variety of purposes such as weddings, other celebrations, and funerals. Check out our amazing work!
We had a real tapa cloth as an example
Peta used the internet to research different examples
Peta, along with our Pasifika Group, performed at the Library, Glen Warren Kindergarten, Little Wonders, and our school assembly. A talented bunch indeed!
Malie- good job everyone.
