Our New Waka

As part of the Kia Kaha programme Room Six children have been designing their own paddles which can be seen on their individual blogs.

Lexi and Lucy designed and painted the waka for the class.  They were assisted by molly and Eden. At 3.5 metres long, it looks better in real life than in the photo.
