Poutama Totem Poles

This term in Poutama we are making totem poles. We decorated tiles and the made 3D templates from cardboard which we are cutting out in iron and steel. The templates include ferns, a tuatara and kiwis. All of this will be stuck to a wooden pole or placed around it.

Back to school

This term is going to be busy with end of year tests and speeches.

Our topic will be cultural diversity in New Zealand and how it has affected New Zealand's past and present. We will also study how it will affect New Zealand's future.

Ms Gifford is back working for two blocks a day having to put up with us.

Ms Nixon and Mr Fowler will be in for the last blocks of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

The Year 8's will also (hopefully) be enjoying their last term at The Gardens School.

Have a nice term everyone!!!!
