PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
This year, students in Whakapoungakau Team have been fortunate enough to be a part of an art focussed Creatives In Schools initiative. Students have worked alongside Jayne Baume, a talented local artist who has been teaching them all about the science, magic and artistry of glass.
Every student has attended 4 workshops with Jayne. They have learnt not only how glass transforms under different heat conditions, but have also had the chance to create 4 different and rather spectacular pieces of artwork, using these different techniques. With the expert help of Jayne, students have created pieces of artwork that reflect their own unique stories about the things they connect with. They have told their stories through their glass art.
As part of the learning journey students have also worked collaboratively to create 3 very special classroom display pieces. Each class piece tells its own story about the learning community within it.
With all the art now fired and completed, it is time for the students and Jayne to show off their fabulous creations. “The Stories Through Glass” Exhibition will take place early in term 3. We will be inviting all friends and whanau of Glenholme School to attend and celebrate with us.
