Our Rising 6's and Pukeko art

We've had lots of fun in Tautoru this term with our Rising 6's - the year 1's in Autahi who will be coming through to us next year! For the last two weeks we have been creating Pukeko art, focusing on the vibrant black, blues and red of the native Pukeko bird. Our fine motor skills have been strengthened with cutting strands of newspaper for the grass that the Pukeko are playing in, alongside with colouring to make our art stand out. 

This art will be on the walls of Tautoru next year, so our Rising 6's have a sense of belonging when they enter year 2. This in turn promotes Positive Emotions when thinking about quite a big transition!
