Sam presents the school with carved images for new rooms.
Sam G has kindly carved 3 images for our classes here at Kaikoura Suburban School. The images are of the 3 birds of which we have named our classrooms after. This change was made as part of the new curriculum, linking the Kaikoura community with the school’s programmes.
Last year we voted for 3 bird names that we felt were linked to our school. The Pukeko (swamp hen) we see regular waltzing round the immediate paddocks beyond the school field, the Shearwater is the bird we have agreed to sponsor on an annual basis after one of our Year 6 students researched it last year and the Fantail we chose as it links the flora and fauna of Mt Fyffe with us.
Sam is a local artist who we consider one of our ‘experts’ under The Arts curriculum. He carves for a living.
Thank you Sam for our lovely carvings. These will be allocated to each classroom.
