Whaea Jude's Norwegian Wood-stack

Lockdown. What have you been up to?

Kia ora Kiwis

When I'm not on hangout this is what I've been doing and, I have to say, I have discovered muscles in my shoulders I didn't know existed.

Post a picture and tell us what you have been doing.

The pieces of wood in the first photo started their lives off as the the round in the second photo. They weigh a ton or so it seems. 

This one is one of the smaller ones. It is 60 cm in diameter and approximately 25 cm thick. It is also fresh so it has lots of water in it. 

How much do you think it would weigh? 

How could I weigh it? I can' t pick it up. 

Put your best estimate in the comments and suggest a way I could 

weigh the round. Let's see who can get the closest estimate.

Locked down but not out.

My wonderful Kiwis and I had our first 'Hangout' today. It took us a wee while to work out the kinks, however we got there in the end. (Thanks to those of my students who know more about driving the computer than I do).

Jude is really BALD!

The Skeleton Woman; a shadow puppet show.

This is Ruma Kiwi's first attempt to create a shadow puppet show to retell one of the stories we learned as part of our Storytelling programme. It was quite tricky especially as there were so many elements in the story and each one needed a puppet. It got very crowded behind the screen with: arms, legs and puppets getting a little tangled on occasion. Nonetheless we were happy with our efforts and invite you to take a look at Ruma Kiwi's production of a traditional Inuit tale called: 'The Skeleton Woman'.
