Visit to Arataki



As part of our topic about communication we went to Arataki regional park to learn about the Taonga (treasures) in nature. We collected samples of various leaves, flowers, rubbings and photos to inspire us. It was an amazing trip and we learnt loads.

Letters from Mr Dodd

We wrote letter to thank Mr Dodd who taught us how to create amazing pieces of art. It was such a surprise when he replied to us by writing back. What a surprise.
