Let's Beat It! Term 4 Programme & Teacher Workshop

We've a very special addition to our Term 4 programme at Puke Ariki.

Let's Beat It! is a new programme focusing on the sound and rhythm of drums. What makes a drum a drum? What materials are different drums made of, and what sounds can they make? Join us for a fun, hands-on programme of rhythm and beats, where students discover drums from around the world and take part in a drumming circle.




Let's Beat It! is available for all year levels, and runs for one hour 15 minutes. Contact us to book your class, or check out our other Term 4 programmes. 

Teachers: join us for a free, fun Let's Beat It! teacher workshop on Tuesday 30 October at 4.00pm. Experience a variety of drums created from everyday objects and natural resources, and explore the sounds and effects created when different objects are played together. Led by the Puke Ariki educators, you'll learn lots of valuable skills to take back to the classroom. Limited places: contact us to register.

Term 4: Beauty and the Beast

Our Term 4 special topic promises to be fascinating. Beauty and the Beast focuses on New Zealand butterflies and moths - what role do these creatures play in our environment? What makes them unique? How do we recognise them and how do they use their senses to their advantage?



We've already received several bookings for Term 4, and encourage you to book your class early to avoid missing out. We also have supporting loan resources for Beauty and the Beast, including two amazing butterfly cases (pictured above) for use back in the classroom.  Please contact us to learn more.
