Whangawehi Planning and Planting Workshop 21 August
We also learned about Pest Control. Malcolm Smith showed us his stuffed cat, ferret, stoat and weasels and showed us the damage they can do to trees and birds.
Harakeke and whakairo Workshop
On Thursday 14 August we had Whangawehi Catchment workshop for Harakeke and Whakairo.
We were lucky to have Matua Edward and Whaea Te Ara and a lot of whanau to help us.
Whaea Te Ara told up how to cut and prepare the flax for weaving.
Room 2 carving the pumice.
Matua Edward taught us how to show respect when people are carving
Carving Pumice Koru.
We learned that the pumice washes up on Mahia beach but it a volcanic rock.

There were some very talented weavers in room 2. They wove mats, flowers and kite.

Duffy Theatre
This
year Duffy and his friend Rosie are excitedly awaiting a visit from Duffy’s
famous, rugby league playing uncle, Bingo. They are taken aback however when
they begin to learn that Bingo isn’t a big fan of books and maybe can’t read at
all! With ideas from the audience and Duffy’s King of Colours book, the
pair go on a journey to help Bingo learn the importance of reading and the
benefits it can have for everyone, everywhere. Together, Duffy and Rosie
sing and stumble their way through to the realisation that everyone has a
different favourite story and that each person’s story is just as awesome as
the next.
This
was such a fantastic treat, our children were a fabulous audience and hopefully
they took away the key message of reading material that you are interested in
and authors you enjoy.
