Māori@Marshland - Toroa T2

By Bex Osbourn

We have been looking at the significance of the Koru and then relating it to our own whanau.  The students had to complete a Pastel art with dye pieces that showed their understanding of the Koru in Maori culture and then design a Koru air dry clay piece that represents themselves and their whanau.

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.

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.
