The art component of our inquiry unit has involved learning the skill of weaving. The students practised in class using paper then moved onto weaving with wool. 

It was exciting to put our new found skills into action, and learn about the history of the Christchurch Arts Centre; and how it used to be the University of Canterbury, during our visit. 

Kōkā Ngaio was absolutely fabulous teaching everyone how to weave using harakeke. All tamariki left with a small whāriki (mat/coaster) - ready to take home and dry out in the sunshine. 

A great day out with lots of learning and students representing our kura well - showing Aroha, Respect and Empathy.
