Wow! How awesome does our school look!!!
The fence mural art was done mainly in Term 3. Each class was given two cultures and two genders to research, design and paint. This was done in rotation as they had to be painted inside in Room 7.
The rocks for the friendship garden were painted by the Middle School. These have been set around the friendship bench and a plaque has been added to dedicate our Kowhai tree to the victims of the Christchurch massacre. This garden is a place for friends to meet, talk and reflect.
The song sounded fantastic! It is a beautiful piece that incorporates the values and diversity of our school. Thanks very much to Levonne Phillips and Talia Heta, both of whom have worked on the lyrics and music for this amazing song.
Next time you visit the school, make sure you check the new installations out!
I really like the art on the fence because it is great to show peoples culture of what they are and what they wear and I also have another reason that I like it because people can show how there culture is very nice.We have to respect every country not only yours, Every. So that is my reason about the culture art.
ReplyDeleteI really like the blog post because it tells us more about the cultural people. I think that this blog post it is really usefull for parents that didn't went to school to see wehn they openned the cultural people and the Garden! I think next time you guys could put the school song like that the parents can hear how beautiful we sing our school. Thank you for reading!
ReplyDeleteI really like the culture art people because It would be cool on our fence. I most like about the culture art was that we respect the other countrys and culture.
ReplyDeleteKia Ora Te Waka Ako, Brooklyn here!
ReplyDeleteI really like how our school has now shown where the students and teachers in our school come from. Something we could work on is making something to put at the feet of our cultural people to make it look a bit better. This reminds me of May Road school except they have it on their front gates and their people are going different things like playing sports and other things.

Hello
ReplyDeleteThis is Brittany
I think that this blog post is really good. You told us about what we did on the day and showed us lots of photos of our cultrue people and the friendship area. Mabe you could of told us that each class had to have four people to unveil the people.( Two people unveiling each.) But you did a good job anyway.
From Brittany!
Hello Ishaan here,
ReplyDeleteI think that this blog post is very good because you explained everything clear. I really caught the parts in your point of view. Maybe next blog you could put things more in order to create more of what happened in reality.
Thanks a lot Ishaan
Hi Jia here. I really liked that we sang our school song to unveil the friendship bench. I also like how we have planted a tree to remember those who have died in what happened at Christchurch. It reminded me of when we were doing some activities for reading relating to the Christchurch Memorial. Maybe next time you could write about the ribbon cutting and you could add a photo of the words to our school song. Other than that the blog was awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi there, Te Waka Ako, my name is Faith and I am a student in Hauraki. I really like how you cooperate every culture at your school!

ReplyDeletekio ra, I love how nice the people turned out, and the rocks that middle school painted they look great. this assemble was awesome. I love how the tree has some kind friendly friends now. I also think that the oldest and the youngest students cutting the ribbon was a great idea. The birds eye view photos looked very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love the school song so much thanks a lot to Phillips and Talia Heta.
Hi my name is Chimay from Waikowhai Primary. I agree, It was amazing day and it was cool seeing the cultural people be unveiled for the first and we sang beautifully. I like the way you added good detail and information to your sentences, If I had to tell you to change anything it would be to add some information about the drone photo's and why we sang that song and that we have been practising it for a long time. But apart from that fantastic Job! Blog ya later!
ReplyDeleteIt was a cool experience and it was a fun thing to make and learn about panting. it was fun to sing our new school song and to see the paintings on the wall.
ReplyDeleteWow those painting look amazing and I also loved the new waikowhai song I like the painting a lot because everyone got to use there ideas on the painting and the new garden looks so cool can't wait to see the Kowhai tree grow.
ReplyDeleteHi it's me Manisha from Te Waka Ako, and I liked how you put lots of really good photos about the culture people and the friendship chair. Maybe next time you could write about why you wanted to put culture people on the side of the fence.
ReplyDeleteHi! I loved the enthusiasm in the text. It is lovely the culture people on the fence. It is also very creative to paint those stones. I give a big thumbs up to the Middle School. Also, well done to the whole school for painting those fantastic cultural people. Awesome work Te Waka Ako, Ka Pai!

ReplyDeleteI liked that we made different types of people to add to out fence we had multiple cultures on the fence. The fence wa so beautiful and set out so nicely. I am so glad that some of our teachers spent their time helping putting the wonderful people on the fence. I will always remember this day. Thank you to the Pablo Vicasso and Leonardo Da Vinci who painted these lovely cultures.

Hello Te Waka Ako it's Angelina from Waitemata. I love your blog post. The photos were really cool. I think that your photos were cool because you used the drone.

My favourite part was when we unveiled our art work.

Hi, Zoe here. In my opinion it looks really amazing on the fence. Also the song sounded really really good. I think that the new look for the friendship is a lot better than it was before, also the plague was a really good idea so whenever you see you know what it means. But maybe next time you could try to make the video a little less blur so you can see the people better. Other than that I think that it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteIt's Ama here. I enjoyed singing the school song out for the first time. I thought the cultural painting were really cool because they had a lot of hard work put into them. I also thought the new friendship garden was cool because it had pretty stones bordered around it. The plague for the garden was also cool.
Hello is Mosese I like how we sang our school song to the unveil for the first time it sound pretty good. i also like our cultures people but i didn't like that there was only one Samoa person. okay see you next time
ReplyDeleteHi! This is Jaimie.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way that you use some photos with drones. That gave it a cool affect so that you can see the surroundings of the environment. I liked the structure of the blog post where you did a paragraph and then some photos about the paragraph.
Next time you could of added some more video with the drone and a phone.

i really liked how you added different cultures in school and made the memorial garden. And the kowhai tree even better by adding rocks that the middle school made. I also like how when people come to the school they get to see our loovely garden and culture fence people.
ReplyDeleteHello Teachers, your blog post is really cool. You added a video and you also added the everything on what happened. You were also painting the art and you made it so interesting. Your writing is fabulous and maybe next time you can add more writing about the paintings and the garden. What was the most amazing thing you liked about the unveiling! You did a great job Teachers!
