Cardboard Challenge

I was so sorry to miss the last week of school, and of course the cardboard challenge which was inspired by the wonderful story of Cain's Arcade.  The story really touched me and if you haven't watched the short film made about it I encourage you too...http://cainesarcade.com/.

The Tui and Kiwi kids had a day of creativity, using their imagination and great creating and designing skills, they worked with cardboard boxes and other recycled materials.  Some wonderful parents came and supported the children, and in Room 3 Mrs Manu did a great job working with Mrs Gordon and our buddy class.

I heard it was a real success and the children had so much fun - there was so much learning, cooperative work, thinking and planning, designing, creating, problem solving and participation involved.

Check out these awesome photo's of the day.  Thanks to all the parents who came in and helped, everyone who donated cardboard boxes, Mrs Gordon and Mrs Manu.
