Kauri Block Opens!

We had a very special day on Friday, the new block of classrooms was officially opened! We had an opening ceremony and then as part of the celebration, we had a special concert with performances. Here is a video of some of the highlights.

We also had a shared lunch after the concert. There was so much delicious food!

Aboriginal Art

As part of our study of Aboriginal and Indigenous people during Term 2, we created some amazing Australian Aboriginal art.

We started off by exploring the Aboriginal legend about Tiddalik and the Flood.

Here are some images of R5 creating their pieces of art.
