Students in Kakariki are putting together a visual display for our topic of Fairy Tales & Stories - our learning intention is to use stencils, collage, and découpage to create a mural display of colourful leaves, of our favourite story books and of handmade Fairy Tale Pages, adorned with students' writing and illustrations. After brainstorming, our first steps have been to create an array of magically colourful leaves - decorated and cut out - and to craft a vast supply of "parchment", made from ordinary printer-paper, weathered with creasing and stained with tea! Our left-over parchment can then also used for lessons throughout the term, to show off our work in Handwriting, Creative Writing, and Visual Art.

Bunnings have very kindly donated compost and garden equipment to Mt Carmel’s Greenfingers which is part of the Bunnings Workshop For Local Schools.

Bunnings may wish to use some of the photos that we took of the children planting the soil and plants in their media.

If you would NOT like your child to be shown in their media, please complete the form below to opt out.

Here are some photos of our students during their online learning this week.

Our students always love a visit from 'Science in a Van'.  On this occasion our junior school were treated to a session on Bubbles, while our senior students enjoyed experiencing 'Sound'.

Rooms 1 - 7 enjoyed a Peter Pan Dress up Day this week after their special trip to the Aotea Centre to watch the theatre production.  Many Tinkerbells, Peters, Pirates and a few Crocodiles and Captain Hooks took over the playground and sang Pirate songs in the hall.  Thankfully - no-one was made to walk the plank!

Football for Children came in this week to hold a fun Football session for every classroom.  The children enjoyed playing some dribbling games as a warm-up before heading of to the inflatable pitch for a quick game of 6 a side.
