Clay at the Suter Art Gallery


We spent a morning at the Suter Art Gallery. Esther showed us how to make a clay tea light holder. We all made one and Esther fired them in her kiln to make them hard and ready for painting.

Swimming!

We finished our week of swimming lessons by having some fun swimming races!

Purple Cake Day 2012



We made purple cup cakes on Purple Cake Day and we sold them to the rest of the school to raise money for the charities that PCD are supporting this year. One of the charities is to help fund a school in Nepal. We also made prayer flags, prayer mandalas and a quilt of good wishes. You can see lots of photos and the quilt in the Junior Roost.

Welcome to Term One!

We have had a very busy term in Tui Class 2012.
Some of us were in Tui Class last year and some of us are new to Tui Class. We have enjoyed getting to know each other and we have welcomed three people who are new to our school as well as our class - Josephine, Evie and Lucas.
We started the term by having an update what happend to the money we sent to Nepal last year.

Anna Seifried came and showed us photos of the hot water shower that she bought for the children in the orphanage.
