It's been a busy week in Room 18. As well as our fantastic trip to the museum (again, a huge thank you to all of the families that came along with us), we have been exploring our art focus of weaving even more.
The learners in Room 18 have begun experimenting with texture and using fibre in their weaving. They're also discovering how changing the thickness of our weaving paper can alter the look of our finished artwork.
Next week, we begin work on our class kohanga (nest). If you have experience with weaving, or would like to come along and join in/help out, we'd love to hear from you.
As you will have noticed, the weather has been increasingly miserable this week. If your child would like to bring slippers to wear (inside the classroom only) they are more than welcome. Please make sure they're clearly labelled. Also, a warm hat and rain/wind proof jacket can be useful for when it's cold outside but fine enough to play.
Welcome to Akomanga 16's blog. We are a class of year 3 and 4 learners at Hamilton East School, New Zealand. Room 16 are developing skills to become life long learners. They will experience opportunities to teach, learn and practise. If you are taking part in distance learning and unable to access seesaw, please see the distance learning tab for activities. You can email me at adent@hameast.school.nz if you have photos to share.

This looks like great mahi. You have discovered new patterns. We recommend you add lots of colours to the nest you make. We think the nest will be great because you have put lots of effort into learning your weaving.
