Start the year with a collaborative art project that looks amazing on the wall and helps to create a co-operative classroom environment!

Use the themes of working together, and our own individual strengths the waka is a perfect metaphor for the journey we are on in the classroom!

Have students individually decorate their waka, write their name on their paddle, create their self portrait, then fill in something they are looking forward to for the year, or even a get to know me statement!

Assemble together, along with the front and rear of the waka, to create a mural to display to start the school year and celebrate your class’s unique qualities!

Features space at front and back to customise the waka with your class name and year.
