Human Energy generator

This term we are learning about what is energy, sources of energy and how we can conserve it.
We are so lucky to have the human energy generator at school for a few days.

Innovation

Our task was to design and make a flax plate for Matariki feast. We decided to weave our plates but there were gaps in them as the flax shrinks, so we brainstormed ideas to fill this gap.

Here is a snapshot of our journey of weaving and the challenges we faced, but we didn't stop.

Matariki

Matthews Class has been learning about Matariki, the Maori, New Year. One of the activities that people loved to do was weaving. They wove baskets to collect the kumara and other vegetables.
We are learning to weave too. It was fun trying to make stars and simple mats by weaving the strips of paper and string.
