Welcome to another weekly blog another weekly blog with me  Hey fam we had another fun filled week that just passed and we celebrated Maori Language Week. It was a great opportunity to learn about our native culture and try some traditional food. As a class we created some Taniwhas and Matariki stars where we added some glitter to make them look shiny. Here are a few snippets of us making our designs: Arthur adding some glitter to his taniwha Kahlani adding in some purple glitter Carlos with his amazing taniwha Everyone had so much fun creating these and once we finished we stuck them on our wall. We had our big celebration assembly on Friday and as a class we got to enjoy some performances from our Kapa haka group and we were even lucky enough to watch Clendon Park perform. They were outstanding!!!  Overall Aroha 2 had the best time ever when they got to help out by making our very own hangi. Each student got a turn to make our own ROWANDALE stuffing
