• Happy Easter Weekend
  Hello Year 6, Yesterday I was in school with some of the children of Two Waters and Mrs Archibald and Mrs Khan. We did an activity called Hapa Zome which I thought you might like to try at home this weekend too.

Equipment you will need: Flowers or leaves Plain white fabric (we used pieces of an old sheet) A hammer (or a stone) A base to work on (we used blocks of wood) Instructions: 1. Arrange your leaves/flowers between 2 pieces of fabric, or between ...
