Maori Week

Last week was Maori Language Week.  Room 14 joined with Room 21, Room 7 and Room 1 to sing and do Maori art.  Mrs Aldridge made Korus with the students who came to Room 14.  The Koru is a Maori symbol for LIFE, NEW BEGINNINGS, PEACE, STRENGTH, HARMONY and GROWTH.

Kahurangi Group

On Monday the Kahurangi Group came to Everglade School and performed for us.
They sang. They danced.  They told stories.  They used pois and strings. 
We laughed.  We listened.  We said "Korua".  We had lots of fun learning about the Maori culture.
