Shaun 1st





Jacob 2nd

  Each year we have a school garden competition. We have our gardens at home and can have a big or small garden, flowers or vegetables or a mix of anything.Gardens can be in pots or just in the garden.
The gardens were fantastic.We have lots of 'green fingers' here at Otewa.
This year Shaun came first,Jacob second and Damian third.

Weaving flax balls with Libby.

Libby told us the names of the flax leaves and how to cut them. We are only allowed to cut the Grandparent and Great Grandparent leaves off the flax bush.

Then Libby showed us how to pull the leaves apart ready for weaving.
We had a buddy to weave with.

It was very tricky to weave the four bits of flax.When we had finished weaving we rolled it into a flax ball.

Then we played with the flax balls.
