School Mosaic Projects |

Project Funding One School recently needed pavers to surround the swimming pool. It was decided that the Children could each design and paint a ceramic tile, make a mosaic and then cast the tile and mosaic in concrete to create a paver. Each participating child’s family agreed to cover the $30 cost for the mosaic paver and $5 of this went back to the school to fund the rest of the paving. The children had an awesome experience and helped to fund a beautiful and functional part of their school. Children at another school painted tiles in a “Town / Country” theme supporting what was going on in the classroom. Families agreed to pay $20 for each tile and of this $5 went directly the school. |

The resulting Mosaic formed a number line which featured an Octopus at Number 1 and Periwinkles at Number 20. |

The children at Pukerua Bay School were looking at the effect of the Rahui and which sea creatures occurred more frequently than others. |
