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.

  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.
