Our latest new art project in the classroom links to Te Reo Maori and what they will be learning next - how to say their whakapapa (family tree) in Maori.All our pieces of art will fit together and frame the front of the classroom. The Koru art they are creating represents their whanau (family) / the people (and in some cases pets) most important to them.
Below are some images of the planning stages, Logan's favourite attempt at a Koru, and some nearly finished products.

I choose the word sister and the maori word for sister is different depending on if your a male or female.
ReplyDeleteIf your a male - Your sister is your TUAHINE
If your a female and younger - Your sister is your TUAKANA
If your a female and older - Your sisterbis your TEINA
