Today we looked at Stained Glass Art by Dale Chihuly and were inspired to make our own bowls. They turned out great! We also learned to play a game called 'Dama' and used our bowls to keep the counters in.
The mighty Tōtara tree stands tall and proud. It protects those smaller than itself. In ancient times it was used to build waka that carried hundreds of warriors and build whare to protect people from the earths elements. As the team gifted with the name tōtara, we take on much of it’s meaning. We protect those who are younger than us and we support others by encouraging them, and being active role models in our kura. We are the leaders of KNS.
