Learning Observed
As part of our Cultural Learning  our whole school did activities around Maori Language Week. The learners were organised into their Oresome Whanau Groups and within those groups had the chance to take part in activities like: poi making, Maori card games, weaving, knuckle bones, game, rakau stick games and lots more. It created opportunities for our learners to mixed in different year levels and abilities. Jessica is in the Collaborative Whanau. She got to experience making a poi. A poi is a traditional Maori tool for performance. A very long time ago however, poi were used in warfare. Well done Jesica.
