Our mural is nearly finished

At the beginning of the term, the children visited Muir Park to get ideas for our

mural design. The key themes we wanted our mural to include were:

• to build awareness of the longfin eel/tuna that live in our local stream
• to promote our new school value Kaitiakitanga
• to build Whanaungatanga about what is special about being in Huritini
• to acknowledge that Te Tauawa a Maka (Nottingham Stream) is an important part of our cultural narrative.

The children all designed what they thought a panel of the mural should look like.

Then our art leaders, Tasmyn and Felix, took the children's designs and incorporated them into the final piece. 

We are nearly ready to put it up on the fence.
