Measuring up our plywood

The Kaitiaki group started measuring the plywood that we bought from Mitre 10 Mega. We took turns taking photos of the Kaitiaki measuring the plywood that cost $127.65. We had to make lots of pads to sell to raise money for the plywoods. The pads were made out of recycled paper. We will sell them for $3.00 each. We used old magazines and felts to decorate the pad covers.

St Patricks visit

Today Masterton Primary Schools kaitiaki group went to St Patricks school and had a look at their murals. Their murals  had heaps of bright colours the murals were to do with:

1.    St Patricks day with the four leaf clover and lepricorn  hat.

2.    They had the symbol of learning.

3.    There was a mural with some of the world’s flags.

4.    There was another mural with the candle of life on it.

5.    There was a mural with Maui and the sun.

6.    We saw some butterfly murals on their gardening shed.

7.    We saw some bugs and fruit on the side of their gardens.

8.    We also saw a New Zealand painting on the ground.

 

The paint got donated to the school. These are some of the materials

We could use.

1. Plywood

2.House paint

3.Marine varnish

 

The teacher who had shown us around was Liz.

The ideas we think would be most useful for our bell tower are to show there are lots of cultures.

Masterton Primary School Kaitiaki Group

Our job as Kaitiaki is to be guardians of the school environment and you can be one too.

 

This involves always keeping the environment at the front of your mind plus helping the school to keep the environment at the front of their minds.

 

The main Kaitiaki Group at MPS are:

Anna, Alisha, Janaya, Jamie-Lee, Cole, Corbin, Shanti, Carleigh, Benny, Latham, Nikita and Te Ana and Karyn and Mrs Feringa.

 

 

Some ideas we already have are:

 

Make a story to perform to show what life would be like if we didn’t have all the elements of the natural  world that the atua represent

– changing the “In the beginning” story to be about if we didn’t have… Tangaroa etc.

 

Looking at  E.O.T.C week in terms of the natural elements shown in Atua.

 

Look back at last years ideas
