The final product ...Sakura paintings

Japanese Sakura art

Today we started our Japanese Sakura art work. First we read all about Sakura and why it is so important in Japan. We also learnt a little about the Buddhist religion and Samurai warriors.

Then we started our ink blowing with straws to make the tree trunk which we will decorate with Sakura tomorrow.

Silent reading in the shade, doesn't get much better than this!

New kōtiro

Nau mai haere mai e Talia! You look to be settling in nicely!

Tapa design a work in progress... This is a class collaboration that was sparked by reading all about how tapa cloth is made.

SHAKE OUT. Everyone remembered the drill stop, drop, hold and then out to the courts for roll check. Ka wani kē koutou .

First day of swimming. Having heaps of fun in our pool, the water is 29 degrees.
