Matariki in Pukeko

JUN 20, 2018
Happy Māori new year!
 Over the last two weeks, in the Pukeko Hub, we have been doing lots of reading, writing and inquiring into Matariki. We have learned about the Seven Sisters, set goals and made kites! We decorated our kites with Māori symbols like Korus or features from different Māori myths as we have focused on this in our inquiry.
The kites were fantastic and they flew very well, even with the light breeze we had on Monday.

Sam Jones The Pukeko Hub has had a great start to Term 2! Last week, we got straight back into our learning by spending our afternoons creating our visual pepehas. As part of this, we drew pictures of our parents - matua and whaea, our home - Ōtautahi, and korus to decorate. We are now learning and practicing how to say our pepehas confidently and clearly to others. Make sure to keep a look out for our pepeha art next time you're in the Pukeko Hub.

This term Pukeko have been working on their Pepeha. We have created a visual Pepeha incorporates their mountain and river. In our hub we have created two different types. Boyce and Sim created a textured artwork with pastel and dye. Calvert and Smith created a sketch with pastel and dye. Students are at their beginning stages of learning their pepeha. They will continue to learn and practice their Pepeha next term.
