Kowhai Class
Welcome to the Kowhai Class site. This is where I post the planning for Kowhai learning at Oruaiti School. Students and I will share their learning on their individual Seesaw accounts or sometimes our class blog. To understand this a bit better please ask me when you are next in school.
