Matariki Art

Hey guys! How are you? I'm Anō Te Pai! Anyway, this week we are doing some Matariki themed art. First I made a Pounamu Taonga out of clay. We got given a piece polymer clay and we had to roll it and make it soft. Then we had to choose a design that our Pounamu would look like. Next we had to design it. Finally we had to bake it in the oven for it to go hard. Here are some pictures...

Here's what equipment we used...

We also made a Manu Tukutuku, a Maori kite. We made a bunch of cardboard strips to go on a kite frame. We made a feather to go on a Korowai (cloak thing.) Do you want to see some pictures? I think you do...

Auckland Zoo Trip

Hey guys! How are you? I'm Phantasmagorical! Anyway, on Thursday, the 14th of June we went on a trip to Auckland Zoo. We went there because our inquiry focus was on animals and how they live. It was a really awesome opportunity to see so many amazing animals. My favourite area by far was the Australian area. The best animal there, in my opinion, was the snake neck turtle. Do you want to see some photos? I think you do!!!

When we were in the kiwi area our guide (John) told us about something called 'Operation Nest Egg'. He told us some information about our national bird, the kiwi.
