Rakau Fun

As part of our inquiry for term 1, we have been looking into parts of Maori culture, including art, music, legends, and language. On Friday Room 30 had a lot of fun learning a song, 'E Papa Waiari', with rakau (sticks).     For the next part of our inquiry we will begin to research the same elements (music, art, clothing, food, stories and legends) of other cultures and the things that make us unique and give us powerful voices. If you have anything you can contribute to that from your own culture we would love to welcome you into our classroom to share.  Please let me know.

Welcome to 2019
