In the mornings, we start the day with a Karakia, kupu (word)
and whakatauki (proverb). This karakia is a great way for the students to focus
on setting themselves up for the day with the right mind-set for learning.
The
kupu is changed every week and is based around a sentence. This term is based
on asking what the weather is like. The proverb changes twice a term and is
based on learning aspects.
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.
