Part of Room 21's learning this term has been doing their own Pepeha - a Maori way of introducing ourselves. It also tells a story of people and places each student is connected to. This is all connected in context to Taha Whanau, as part of our Te Whare Tapa Wha learning.
Everyone has a pepeha which links them to their ancestors. It's like a story that connects you to your waka, your hapū and iwi. It identifies important places like your maunga, awa and marae.
Our Art process was to draw our awa and maunga, and to integrate the words of our whanau, awa, maunga, name, cultures and home into our drawing.
Students were able to discuss the art process of mixed media and materials and textures, and also lines, shapes, form and patterns.
