Room 2 is a class of 20, Year 1 and 2 students. We are 5 and 6 years old and go to Oakura School in Oakura, Taranaki, New Zealand. Oakura is a small village on the coast. We can see Mount Taranaki from our school playground and are near Egmont National Park. Oakura School children take care of the local beach and enjoy activities in their local environment.

Lavalava
Some of our class made small printing blocks with tropical leaf and flower designs which they printed onto fabric. It was great fun getting dressed up "Island Style" in our own hand made lavalava.
Tvaevae
Hazel discovered that tvaevae are hand stitched quilts made in the Pacific Islands.
She has designed her own tvaevae and is busy embroidering details onto the leaves and hibiscus flowers.
We can't wait to see her finished work!
