Rongoli Patterns

We followed a video clip on our laptops to make these patterns.  Rongoli patterns are used in the Indian celebration of Diwali to celebrate the Indian New Year. 

People have these patterns in their homes to welcome visitors.

10 years of edible gardens

Last Friday we had a wonderful time celebrating 10 years of edible gardens being run at Witherlea School. To celebrate this Mrs Wentworth (our edible gardens teacher) organised some super fun activities for us to rotate around. These included relay races involving passing a cauliflower and using a cucumber as a baton and doing a spoon and egg race where the egg was replaced with broccoli. We also got to plant our own seeds to eventually take home. It was super fun!

BRAVE singers!

Miriana and Jen did a wonderful job today singing BRAVE in front of a big audience. You sang beautifully and were so confident.  Ka Rawe! Awesome!

Diwali Art!

We have learning about the Indian celebration of Diwali during our inquiry this week. We made Rongoli patterns like the ones people display on the floor of their homes during this celebration. They are made to welcome visitors into peoples homes.

School Art Display

We were lucky enough to have some amazing art on display in the hall for arts week.
