Kowhai Museum trip. 

In week two Kowhai team visited the Waikato Museum.  
Our lovely guides showed us around.  We looked at the special Te Ao Maori and Matariki displays of the museum. We were so amazed at the stories and light display.  
Then we got to make Te Winika (a waka) and draw koru patterns to decorate it. 
We learnt about the beautiful Po in the museum and how they tell stories and history. We made a Po of our own to take home. 
Thanks to all the parents who came along to support us !!!!
It was a fantastic trip.  

            

     

On Friday we had turns at cutting and preparing the kumara to eat. 
 We roasted kumara chips and pumpkin chips.  Most people liked the kumara chips.  

For some children, it was the first time they had tried it.  They were yum! 

Weaving with Flax.  

This term we are exploring weaving as part of learning about the processes of art.  Rachel helped guide the children with the flax weaving of a Kete.  It was very fiddly! and the flax was slippery.
