Tote tray construction | Thursday 23rd October | Can you help us?!

our creative 

tote trays

On Thursday 23 October, M13 are attaching tote trays to their desks so they can store their books underneath their desks. We were wondering if the parents/caregivers could come and help us attach them.

Avie has helped us to create some clever designs so the tote trays slot under our desks without getting in the way of our knees, using drawer sliders from Bunnings and wood.

Please email Amy <amyaustin@islandbay.school.nz> if you could come and help on Thursday!

from Ella, Joe, and M13 

Here's a prototype:

Laying down the hangi at Tapu Te Ranga Marae

Tomorrow we're laying down the hangi at Tapu Te Ranga Marae.  Some of us will prepare the fire while others prepare vegetables. It'll be cool to see how our local marae is different from the wharenui we saw at Te Papa last week.

Reminder for parents: we are meeting at the marae (not at school) at 8.55am tomorrow, then walking back to school after lunch, so you can pick up your kids as usual from school at 3pm.

Here we are sketching the wharenui at Te Papa last week:

 Ready to go...
