Whānau Hui for Parents of Māori Students - Wednesday 22nd March

WHANAU HUI FOR PARENTS OF MAORI STUDENTS – Wednesday 22nd March:
We would like to invite you to a Whānau Hui for parents of Māori students at Marshland School. This will be held in the Staff Room on Wednesday 22nd March, 2017. We will start with a karakia/blessing at 5:30pm and our hui will finish at 6:30pm.
We are thrilled about our inclusion into Huakina Mai (A two-year relational based intervention that provides a strengths-based approach to supporting Māori students in schools).
We know that Māori students learn best when they have strong learning relationships with their teachers, and when teachers and whānau work together to support their tamariki.
Darlene Te Karu, Senior Facilitator at Kaha Education would like to speak with you to give an overview of the Huakina Mai programme and what it entails. 
This is a great opportunity for you to come along, meet other whānau and teachers and hear all about Huakina Mai.
 If you would like to come along could you please RSVP to the office by Monday 20th March for catering purposes.

  Welcome back to Term 3! This term we will be focusing on colours and items of clothing. Hopefully after a few weeks you will be able to mix and match the colours and the items of clothing.

Māori@Marshland - Kiwi

Cecile Lyon In the kiwi hub we read the legend of 'Maui and the sun'. We imagined we were Maui catching the sun and created these Art works. For Matariki we made kites that were inspired by the book 'The seven kites of Matariki'.

Māori@Marshland - Toroa

 By Bex Osborn In Toroa we delved further into understanding the importance of representing who we are, where we come from and the stories we can tell.  Ta moko is a traditional facial tattoo that shows about our whanau and where we have come from.  The students looked into the meaning of various shapes in Maori culture and linked this back to their whanau and culture and created their own Ta moko.
