Our concept for Term 1 is Turangawaewae. Kauri whanau organised an immersion activity on Friday. A huge map of the world was drawn on the court area. Children then sat in their country of origin, or which they consider to be their turangawaewae.

Every child had coloured in a footprint and wore a sash of their whanau colour. They then placed their footstep in their country, marched around the court and together we all squeezed onto the map of New Zealand.

It was interesting to see all the different nationalities that we have in our school family.
