Introducing Korimako Class of 2018

The stunning and clever Korimako class would like you to see their wonderful comical portraits they created of themselves.
To create these fantastic pieces the children experimented using paint for their faces.  The children had lots of fun tracing around their hands and feet and decorating them using coloured pencil and outlining them using vivid.  We discovered it was not so easy to trace around our own hands and feet and required some assistance from our classmates.  We also discovered we need lots of practice cutting out as some of us lost ends of fingers and toes. 

Welcome To Korimako Class 2018

I think the bird is soft, crazy and cheeky.
It is a fussy eater.  I think we should call it,
Gemstone if it is a girl  Mischief for a boy.

Welcome to Korimako Class of 2018. 
Korimako is the Maori name for the
Bellbird.  We decided to call ourselves
Korimako because we think we are cheerful and
tuneful class, just like the Bellbird.

We have a friend
with no name.  We have looked at it characteristics to
suggest names for it.  Another problem we have we do
not know it's gender.  We have discovered some
interesting things about the bird.  It decided to peck
the sapphire from Mrs King's ring. 
Have a look at all our ideas to help us decide a name.
