Each of us were given a small piece of an art piece which we had to enlarge. This was a tricky task due to the lines, colours, shading ... not to mention the fact that we didn't actually know what then end product was going to be! We are so proud of our collaborative art piece. It stands proudly in the doorway of Moana 2 and 3 - He waka eke noa! We are all in this together!
We also learnt about Pop Art and it's influence on art. We loved the bright contrasting colours so decided to use this style of art for our portraits this year. They look just like a piece from and Andy Warhol exhibition.
Please come into the class to check out our awesome artwork!
We are very proud of everyone from MLH who participated in the Weetbix tryathlon this year. You represented yourselves and our school with pride and gave it your best - TU MEKE!
Last week we started our pepeha walk by heading down to our awa Hamanatua. We learnt about what the awa was used for in the past and ways in which we can look after it now. Part of our mission is to get rid of the fennel which is suffocating our native trees by the Okitu Bridge. If you would like to help us on this mission let us know - many hands make getting rid of fennel happen faster!!
We would also like to thank Sonia Keepa who came down to talk to our Y6 students about ocean safety. We learnt the three R's - Relax, Raise your hand and Ride the rip - which will help us to get out of a rip safely as well as how to spot a rip.
Three weeks down already! This term is whizzing by - I guess time flys when you love learning in MLH :)

The artwork looks amazing MLH. Well done on your efforts. Very impressed!
