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.

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.

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'.
