Planting natives

Ms Jones brought some native seedlings from her garden. We decided to plant them on the nature trail

We planted tanikaha, kowhai, hebe and lancewood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We really do have the best grounds any school could possibly have. What a beautiful environment we work and play in!

Drawing taniwha

We have been learning about Maori designs.

There are four main shapes that are put together in different ways to make designs.

They are:

The koru represents the fern frond.

The Pukeko are the three toes of the pukeko bird.

Mako is the fin or teeth of the mako shark.

Patiki is the shape of the flounder.

Here are our taniwha pictures using these shapes.
