Haere ra Raven
This week to bid him 'farewell' we had a shared lunch picnic & games at Petone Rec.
Yesterday Miss Heatley presented him with his Year 8 leavers bible & candle.
Good luck in Sydney Raven :-)
Year 8's Legacy Working Bee
At the end of each year the Year 8's work on a 'Legacy Item'.
This year a 'Memory Garden' is being constructed.
The first sods of earth were turned yesterday and 12 of the Year 8's came along to a Working Bee in the evening to get the construction started.
There were bursts of work interspersed by bursts of socialising/play!
With Fish & Chips to finish.
The garden will keep evolving over the next couple of weeks...

Harakeke WOW Garments...
On Friday 24 October Pep & Ros visited all 3 Senior Syndicate Classes - sharing their Harakeke Wearable Art.
They had designed and made these garments as part of their Harakeke Weaving Course at the Wananga in Porirua.
Thanks Pep & Ros we didn't know you could do so much with Harakeke!
We heard about the design process, special dyes they used, some techniques and how it can take a long time to make a garment!
They were both inspired by Maori Myths & Legends
We found it very inspiring :-)
Some good advice they gave us was:
don't worry about making mistakes- you can sometimes turn your mistakes into something!!
And-
If you use lots of natural materials it's free & you can use them in lots of different ways.
