PUKEKO ART

Did you know that last term, every class in the Pukeko Team made 3-D relief paper mache pukeko? We got the idea from Fiona Gunn and she was very helpful. Now they are up in our classrooms and we think they look great! Below is a photostory explaining how we made them.

SKIPPING, SKIPPING AND MORE SKIPPING

You may have noticed that we have been doing lots of skipping lately. It’s lots of fun to get out in the sun in the middle of the day and try new skills with a skipping rope. Some of us have made amazing improvements on our co-ordination and we can do so many different kinds of skipping: long ropes, backwards, crossover, fast, slow and even skipping with a buddy – two of us on one rope! Mr D had a go one day but it really is not very good for his leg! We like it when we have competitions and see who is the fastest or who can go the longest.
