T4WK1 - Calf Club Day

Students from across the school creating 'Kokedamas'  - a style of Japanese bonsai, where a plant's root system is simply wrapped in sphagnum moss and bound with string, transforming it into a sculptural art form.

Sand saucers and shoebox dioramas; just two of over one dozen different Ag Day art activities on offer throughout the school on Monday.

Well done Kereru students who entered calves and lambs into proceedings today and congratulations to those who were awarded ribbons and trophies!
