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.

Spread Joy

"Joy for learning ... joyful living"  These words are part of the Amesbury School philosophy and a group of Koru students have been carrying out an inquiry into what this means. They thought about what joy looks like, sounds like and feels like, in their lives at school and outside of school.  Then they thought of ways they can spread joy at Amesbury School and help others feel joyful.

The video below demonstrates some of their ideas including:
helping others learn
playing fun games with others
inviting others to join in games
playing sports with friends
sharing equipment 
looking after our environment
helping to tidy up
being a caring friend
