Kete Aronui: mahi raranga.

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.

  1. 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.
