The Book Week costumes were amazing – well done to all the parents who assisted in the devising of outfits!

Class 1 wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to Class 1 and 2 families for the bake sale and to all those who devoured the sweets and treats.

Last Friday, we invited Class 5 to our space to share the incredibly rich tales of the Maori.  It was a wonderful opportunity to recall that which we have learnt, and perhaps Maui’s gifts inspire Class 5 in their final preparations for the upcoming Greek Olympics.  καλή δύναμη, Kali dunami!

We have now begun to discover stories of the plant world just as they begin to form new growth and open to the light.  In handcraft news – we are now experimenting with wet felting – watch this space. Our form drawing continues to improve and evolve.  Inspired by Paul Klee’s relationship with form, colour and music, we create soundscapes on the Glockenspiel once we have moved and practiced a particular form.  A very special mood has arisen as we experience the joy and freedom of music making.

To Chris Robins and his family and to all the lyre making participants, thank you for your ingenuity, flexibility and generosity.  May their beautiful melodies fill our hearts for many years to come.
