Kiwiana

This week we have been learning about Kiwiana - those things that are distinctly New Zealand.

Our list has included:

• Living things - kiwi, weta, tui, silver fern, paua, tuatara, and pohutukawa.
• Maori Culture - haka, pounamu and koru patterns.
• Places - the Beehive, the Cake Tin and Aoraki/Mt Cook.
• Things and Inventions - pavlova, L&P, electric fence, jandals and Buzzy Bee.

Here's a link to New Zealand's 'official' Kiwiana town - Otorohanga. A good place to learn more about Kiwiana and some of the icons of New Zealand culture.

Paper Plane Competition Update

With the breeze it is hard to say if the 'Time in the Air' competition will go ahead. I think we will be ok for the distance attempts though.
