Manaiakalani Festival – Student’s Quest for Purpose

Have you ever wondered why we spend so much time in school?

Education is like a superpower; it gives us the tools to understand the world around us.

It helps us develop critical thinking skills, problem-solve, and be creative. So, next time you feel overwhelmed by your schoolwork, remember that education is an investment.

Matariki Term 2 2024

 

Mānawatia a Matariki 2024

Today was a blast! We whipped up the most delicious mini trifles – layers of fluffy sponge cake, vibrant fruit salad, creamy custard, and of course, a cloud of whipped cream! It was a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. To add to the fun, we even had a little star competition. Everyone put their creativity to the test, crafting the most impressive star decorations. The competition was fierce, but in the end, everyone was a winner – with both a tasty treat and a chance to show off their artistic skills!

Siapo Art in Room 9 & 10

     

Rooms 9 and 10 enjoyed creating Siapo Art. It took a few weeks to complete. First, we searched for patterns from our culture and practised drawing these. It was hard to decide which patterns to choose because there were so many. When we were happy with our chosen patterns and we had practised drawing these patterns, Ms Tumahai gave us a square sheet of white paper. We carefully drew patterns on 4 petals. Ms Tumahai and Mrs Sio went over our pencil lines with a black vivid. We waited about a week for almost all of our space to finish before dyeing our Siapo creations. This is how they all turned.

They look amazing in our space. Feel free to come and check it out.
