School Magazine Page - Canva

This year we have been asked to use Canva to create our pages for the 2022 School Magazine. I've used Canva in the past and find it pretty easy to navigate. I've had some input in the WIMS Netball page - recrafting the blurb a student had written and uploading photos to be included. Thank goodness a mum who accompanied us to WIMS Netball took photos of the year 7's as they played because I mostly had pictures of the year 8's and a lot were terrible/blurry.

I'm happy with the page for Soft Materials. I would like to add a few more photos as classes progress this week. However, time restraints are not on my side!

Here's an image of what I have done so far...

Updated image - I've now added an Extension Fabric page. I have these students tomorrow and will add pictures of their work. At least four should finish tomorrow and I can't wait, they look so good!



Staff Meeting - EOTC Pirongia

Kate Parr – First Step Outdoors

On site activities at Pirongia Lodge - Zipline, Rock Climbing, Camping & Bivvying, Inground Trampoline, Abseiling, Archery, Orienteering

Off-site activities – Caving at Karamu, High Ropes and Kayaking at Karapiro.

Great opportunities for students/staff/whaanau! There is also the opportunity to learn more about the conservation efforts, investigate the eco-systems with experts and to tie into the new Aotearoa History curriculum.

Preparing Pencil Case Fabric

I've cut all the remaining rolls of fabric up (5 different prints) to cover the final 140+ year 7s in cycle five - including the final two Outside School classes too. 4-6 pieces of each print is placed into class piles with a range of coloured zips. Ensuring each group has a range of the prints to choose from. Left over fabric has been cut up to use for the 1.5cm seam sample and on some rolls, there was enough for a few drawstring bags.
