Waiata Practice with Te Kauru

 After our senior syndicate assembly we practiced our waiata and singing with Te Kauru. We had great time and learnt some new waiata.

Visual Pepeha

In Te Puawai we enjoy learning about Tikanga Maori or traditional ways Maori did things. We have been learning about 'Toku Pepeha'. Our Pepeha makes links to important parts of the environment, our whanau group, meeting place and other things that are important to Maori. When we introduce ourselves, using our pepeha, people make links and are able to identify where you are from and who you may be related to. Some of our class knew their own pepeha and used this to create their visual pepeha. The students who did not know their own pepeha were given the school pepeha to use. The following are some examples of the visual pepeha Te Puawai created.
