Matariki: Weaving fish from card

We started our Matariki topic by reading the story about the 7 Fish of Matariki and then tried to weave our own fish out of cardboard strips as a practice run for weaving them out of harekeke (flax). It was pretty hard as our hands were a bit too small to for the strips - but we persevered and here are some of the results.

Snakes and Ladders

Be Smart Where You Park

This awesome video was put together with the help of the school prefects to show how the children can manage themselves and their learning environments. "Be Smart Where You Park".  A child needs to be aware that if they are not working in a good space, then they should move. This will result in better work and more learning :)
