Art, art, and more art!
This term Nikau children have been busy with a lot of designing, drawing and painting with calendar art, painting godwits, and creating fantasy birds for Sculpture on Shore. The Sculpture on Shore art are still in the making but are already looking spectacular. We cannot wait to see the final product!

Today we buddied up in our whanau groups to create spectacular chalk art for peace. Alyssa beavered away with her Miro buddy to make beautiful letters for the word Peace. Other children created symbols of their own or modified well known designs. Most importantly the children worked happily and peacefully on their project to launch Peace Week.

Afterwards the Nikau children took turns trialling their paper planes. We were fascinated at the different ways and lengths each plane flew.
At the end we used a trundle wheel to measure how far our top 5 planes flew:
