Some Tui classes have been looking carefully at our whanau trees which are all planted around the school. The whanau houses are: Pohutakawa (red), Puriri (blue), Kowhai (yellow) and Totara (green).

We looked very carefully at the leaves and wrote adjectives to describe them.
Then we wrote descriptive sentences. The students all LOVED this practical learning activity and produced excellent writing with a range of descriptive writing devices.
In addition, we used the leaves to create some mandala patterns.
