Poetry


We have been enjoying lots of poems- reading and writing them. We have written poems about Daffodils. These poems have created beautiful images using all sorts of language features.


Kaea Shows us his Lavalava


Kaea's dad got fabric from Samoa to make lavalava for Kaea and Tawera. Tawera's grandmother sewed them up for the boys. We were pleased to hear that the boys wear their lavalava.

Amazing Cloak from Syria


Thank you to Ella's mum for visiting our class with her beautiful cloak and her photos.
It was hard to know exactly how to wear this cloak. We loved the tinkly sound made by all the coins and bits of metal on the cloak. It was really unusual.
