Although we believe in acknowledging Te Tiriti o Waitangi & Tangata Whenua on a daily basis through implementing Tikanga Maori within our teaching practices, we certainly amped up daily experiences for our tamariki during Matariki & Maori Language Week. Here's just a few snippets of what we've been up to over the last month...
Weaving - Tuakana/Teina approach teaching & learning (Willingness to share knowledge & being open to learning - Participation)
Performances (The Arts- building self confidence, having a go & participation)
Cooking & Food Preparation
Rock Corn (pop corn)
Scones
Star Bread (fairy bread)
Visual Art
Sand from Tangaroa
Poi making & performances - poi, Haka, pukana (Strengthening the fine motor skills, group participation)
Group korero about Matariki concepts
