FENCE PAINTING IN RUMA KOTARE!

Ruma Kotare have been busy over the last few weeks making one of the gardens near the playground into a more bright and wonderful garden. We started work on our garden after we discovered that it wasn't a very nice home for one of our class visitors, Sticky the stick insect (see our before photo below!).

We have weeded the garden, pruned it with the help of Luka's Dad and cleared all the rubbish out. Our latest work has been painting the fence.

PAINTING THE FENCE
First we each made our own fence painting plan, then we sat down together, shared our ideas and collaborated to come up with something everyone agreed on. We had to vote for each picture idea that went on the fence.

On Monday, we finally got a sunny day so we started on our painting - have a look at our amazing work so far!! A big thank you to Alannah's Mum who came along and helped us out. 
Our next job is putting down new soil and planting beautiful plants!

HERE IS OUR BEFORE PHOTO

We shared our ideas and put them all together for our fence plan. We are voting on what should go on!
