Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

Kī O Rahi 

The fantastic facilitators from Kī O Rahi Tāmaki Makaurau to come into our kura during wiki o Te Reo Māori and teach our Year 5s & 6s how to play. We had the best time and our ākonga have continued to play, since! Tēnā rawa atu tatou, Kī O Rahi Tāmaki Makaurau!

"There was a great instructor that came to teach us the game of Kī O Rahi in the auditorium. First, he told us a story about how Kī O Rahi was made and then we started playing Kī O Rahi. It was fun and it was a perfect game to experience and learn more about Māori culture"

Necklace-Making

"One lunch time we had an activity. The activity was to make paper Pounamu so you could hang them on your neck. I loved helping the little juniors and seeing their cute little faces, and especially being a role model for them, also showing them to help and share no matter what.  I love doing cultral things at school because there are many ways to celebrate your culture."

Toro Pikopiko Puppet Show

We attended a Māori pakiwaitara puppet show hosted by Toro Pikopiko at the Manurewa Library.  

"The puppet show was fascinating, there were spiral taniwha and other rainbow puppets. The puppet-maker was intelligent and unique, he had made all the puppets himself.  My favourite puppet was the spiral taniwha."
