  • Kia Ora Everyone

    Mrs Newbold and Mr Choong are really excited to work with you all this term.

    The context for your Term 2 in Forest / Ngahere Whanau is all about 'New Beginnings - Matariki'.

    Therefore we are going to create a creative piece of art that showcase your exploration of a range of Maori Kowhaiwhai patterns using a range of different painting materials and techniques.

    The koru shape is the main feature in the Maori culture that symbolizes new beginnings as this is where and how each the new fern frond unspirals and sprouts. There are more shapes and meaning we will explore too… The koru is just where we embark on this journey.  I hope you enjoy the process to learn and try out some new and traditional types of art designs.
