Creativity!

Take a walk around the school at the moment and you are struck with the amount of work going into our Wearable Art in preparation for our "Urban Garb" production on 13 - 15 September. The detail and care that is going into these designs is amazing! The students are learning to work collaboratively and we are all learning new skills as we construct, colour and create. Tickets are now available through the school office or online through the School website.

Kids In Town

What a fantastic day celebrating being back in our awesome city and especially at the Chch Art Gallery - such a wonderful space to perform! The Kapa Haka group performed a rousing selection of waiata ably led by Mishayla and Kamaioha. The Y4-6 choir raised the roof with their singing, Kaylin performed her winning Suess dance, and the Legend dance troupe gave a polished performance. 

Special thanks to the City Council for providing transport and hosting us at Kids In Town. Thank you also to our wonderful whanau for coming along to support us all.

The time has come for us to get busy making all of our Wearable Art for this year's "Urban Garb" production. The glue guns are at the ready, cardboard for miles and paint galore. Check out these photos of the early stages from various rooms.

Kapa Haka Visit Cherry's ELC

On Tuesday 5th July the Senior (Year 4-6) Kapa Haka visited Cherry's on Maryhill as part of celebrations for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. The children at Cherry's were very excited to have us and sent us a lovely thank you card afterwards. The Kapa Haka members were delighted when the children responded with a waiata. Tino orotika!
