Dream Catchers

Harakeke students have been investigating art from other cultures. One group investigated dream catchers. They asked questions, searched for answers and shared their findings with the group. A couple of findings are explained in the video clip by Samuel and Ella. If you would like to make a dream catcher see the instructions written by Karina and Samuel in the post below.

QR Codes & Book Reviews

Harakeke students have been writing lots of great book reviews recently. Whenever a review is published on our blog not only do they get a world wide audience but we also put a QR code on the book in our library. Scan the QR codes to read the opinions of your own classmates as well as read the blurb on the book when you are deciding whether to read a book. You can use the iPads or the iPods - the QR code reader app is called BeeTag.
