Today has truly been a fun Friday! Matai team has been hard at work this morning using craft knives to make templates for screen printing. We have been learning how to draw cartoons this term and we have designed simple pictures to screen print onto t-shirts. The process we are discovering is quite tricky to use the craft knife safely and effectively to cut out our designs. Here are some pictures to show you how we are doing...

After this we had an Enviro Schools workshop with Laura from the Clutha District Council. She talked to us about ways we can make our school and the things we do more sustainable for our earth. We did some really cool activities. Here are some pictures from our session...

The afternoon of our day ended with buddy reading with Kowhai class. We loved hearing their stories and sharing some with them.
