No prizes for guessing the sound of the week in Kono! We started the week making a 'marvelous moustache' or two. Each tamaiti made a moustache shape of their choice for some marvelous munching while we read stories in the afternoon.
After a fire safety talk (:-)) Kono trouped down to the Maara Kai to toast some marshmallows. Another tasty treat to celebrate the final week of Term 2. The outcome of the toasting varied greatly from 'barely saw the fire' to 'charcoal'! All tamariki enjoyed the ooey gooey deliciousness! Everyone came back for seconds (and thirds!).
Matariki has been in our thoughts again this week after returning from a long weekend celebrating with our own whānau and community. We started the week by creating some more stars - stain glass window stars for each tamaiti's home and the classroom windows also.
It was with much excitement the tamariki from Kono harvested some of the vegetables they planted earlier in the season to share with whānau. Some tamariki couldn't wait for them to be taken home and started nibbling the crisp deliciousness before they even left the school!! The power of growing their own veges! Ka mau te wehe!
One final 'm' for the week - manu aute! Over the week the tamariki worked on creating their own manu aute kite for display. The process invloved some tricky paper weaving, as well as adding their own individual design touches. Miharo tamariki mā!
It has been a busy and fruitful term! Kia pai te hararei! Hoki haumaru mai e te whānau! Hei te Wahanga 3!
