The Little Kiwi's Matariki

 The week, as we prepare for Matariki, we read "The Little Kiwi's Matariki".

Listen to the story here.

Over the week all the tamariki worked on creating an artwork in response to this story. When it came to creating the tree trunks for the artwork there was a bit of discussion about what colours we should use to colour the tree trunks - red, blue, black and pink were some of the options put forward!!

So it was outside we went! We looked at a number of different trees in the school yard - but we could only find brown ones!! One tree trunk had lichen on it - so we did find a bit of green. But as a general rule, the tree trunks were brown. So back to class to colour some tree trunks brown (some with a touch of green!).

The completed artworks!
