Wearable Art with Mrs Mitchell

This was a fabulous opportunity for the children to showcase what they had made to the the whole of the Taranaki.  The children showed a lot of patience with their felt making.  They will tell you it takes lots of work to produce one piece of usable material.  All the children assisted in making a dress to be entered in the Wearable Art competition and they also made a piece of material to make something for themselves. 

Enviro Production with Mrs Hancock

This was a fantastic elective for children to bring out the dramatic side in themselves.  The children under the guidance of Mrs Hancock wrote, produced, directed, acted and made props for an environmental play.  This was then performed on the Environmental Elective open day.  All the parents, children and teachers watched and laughed as the children performed.  There are certainly some budding actors in the school. 

In the orchard with Mrs Waite

The Orchard group have been busy making compost bins, weeding the fruit trees and companion planting.

In the garden with Gwenda

The garden enviro elective did a whole new remake of the garden area.  They put in new paths for easy access to the middle and planted a selection of vegetables.  The children all learnt about companion planting and how to grow great vegetables.  The lage bean frame looks rustic as well as serving a practical purpose.  The frame was covered in polythene and use as a hot house to grow some seeds.  Come and see all the wonderful work that has gone on.
