Matching and sorting activities

First week back, we learned to match and sort. For that, we had to find similarities and differences. We found matching letters, teddy bears and numbers. Here are some photos of us in action.

Fitness in West Class

West Class artist :Rae West

A huge welcome to all our whanau and tamariki to 2023. This year Room 1 is named after the New Zealand artist Rae West.

Rae West began her career as a graphic designer based in Sydney, developing an eye for composition and design. Rae eventually returned to New Zealand and moved towards fine art, following in the footsteps of her grandmother who she had watched as a child painting and creating. Rae experimented with resin and inks and quickly developed a distinct style.

Her works pulse with the kinetic freedom of fluidity and light. 
She uses multiple veils of pigment, resin and ink, which blend and react against each other creating beautiful forms and textures. She is based just outside Napier, in a sea-side village called Haumoana.
