What have we been up to in Room 2?

 Kia Ora All,

The students have all made an excellent start to the term. One of the activities we did recently, as part of our te reo programme, is making a kete (from textile, not flax!). The relevant tikanga we talked about was the practice of gifting the first item you make to someone. We also talked about the different uses of kete and touched briefly on how they were originally made. The kids first decided who they were going to gift their kete to, and then brought that person to mind as they created it. We're going to display the kete on the wall until the end of the term, and after that the children will be able to take them home and gift them to their chosen person. Below are some photos of the process and the finished product. 

Rock on,

Mr M
