In Pukeko Hub, we have been learning about stick insects and the famous artist Claude Monet.
Here is a snapshot of some of the wonderful work the tamariki have created over the last week...
Insects
All these insects, all these insects,
so many shapes and sizes.
Crawling with 6 legs over sticky, gooey mud.
Crickets squeaking all night, that’s not right!
Black and yellow stripy bees,
buzzing everywhere.
Buzzzzzzzzz!!

So many insects to learn about its taking over my brain,
