Our Korowai

This is our new Korowai (cloak) that we have made to greet and farewell staff, student teachers and children going to school.

To find out about korowai a small group of children went to the Auckland museum to see what was on display.

We gave the children a camera each and they took the photos . It was the first time we had been on a trip without adults taking photos to record the event!

Their photos were great.

We used our kindy korowai for the first time when Jaime and Pea joined us as student teachers on practicum.

Millie wore the cloak and shook their hands and Eashaan greeted them and introduced the song we wanted to sing to them.

Jaime and Pea said they felt very welcomed so we knew it had been a good thing to develop!
