Painting the Alleyway Fence

Our Community is Home Project.

 Whanākitanga wanted to brighten up the Alleyway to Lelani Ave.

We have been waiting for Sunny Thursday Mornings to brighten up the Alleyway Fence. We have designed a series of murals for the corrugated iron fence and for the wooden panel fence we designed individual panels to represent a range of children and what is important in their lives.

For the wooden fence we thought about what makes us unique, our families, cultural and likes. We looked at our favourite food, games, books, places, clothes, patterns that represent our culture and or family. We experimented with different colours to best represent our images and backgrounds for them to stand out on.

For the iron fence we thought about images that represent the various cultures in our school. Our new logo, our school values, myths and legends. This side of the fence doesn't see a lot of sun in the mornings so hopefully we will get some sunny days so we can paint our murals in the afternoon.
