As promised.......... Matariki at our Whare Mātauranga part rua

So here it is. The beautiful Matariki display and Korowai created by many of our tamariki. Demonstrating a great way to celebrate Matariki by collaborating and creating something truly beautiful.

Matariki at our Whare Mātauranga

Throughout this week, Helen has been encouraging our tamariki to create a star or a feather. The stars are for the Matariki display and the feathers are for the Korowai that will be proudly displayed in our Library. Both projects are not yet finished, so I will make another post about these two beautiful projects next week.

Drawing day in the Library.

As a teacher I really love being in the Library when it's drawing day. Our students show great Manaakitanga, Manawanuitanga and Kaitiakitanga when engaging in this activity.

Manaakitanga = They are kind, caring and practice sharing.

Manawanuitanga = They focus and work hard to complete their drawing/masterpiece.

Kaitiakitanga = They use both sides of their paper, put it flat in the recycle box and they tidy up the drawing equipment before leaving.

There is also another reason why I like being present for drawing day................

I get given some FANTASTIC pictures!!!!!!!!

Come along on drawing day, I would love to see your artistic talents.
