Week 3 T2

Maori Consultation

This term I am consulting with our Maori community and have developed a questionnaire for you to fill out. Please give this some thought and have them back to me by the 1^st of June. If you would like to see me about any matter relating to this please call in at school.

Topic

The children have been to Lake Rotokare this week as part of our topic study for flora and fauna. Next week we have Nathan from Puke Ariki and Morgana Watson from Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and they will be bringing a book as a reference for basic Kupu Māori (Māori words) to do with the Kiwi and insects, this will then be the

inspiration for activities with poi, rakau and purerehua (type of instrument) as well as other activities. The Juniors will be doing this on Tuesday 15^th and the seniors on 17^th May in the hall.

Don’t forget BOT meeting next Wednesday night 7.00pm—all welcome.
