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.

Māori@Marshland - Pukeko

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.

Māori@Marshland - Pukeko

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.
