Here is a slide show about our learning.

Autumn Leaf Art

We've been doing an art study on Autumn Leaves. We started by sketching leaves and making leaf rubbings. Then we created PVA print templates and had fun creating prints using Autumn colours.

Now it's  Te Ako Kowhai Question Time where our keen young interviewers are not afraid to ask the hard questions. Thanks Mrs Van Schaijik and Rika for helping our Junior Explorers with their interview techniques and camera work. Can't wait for the next episode.
