Maori Language week

Lots of songs in Te Reo this week, followed by stories and books relating to Maori legends or tikanga.

Christina was teaching at Te Puna Kohungahunga before she came to us so she knows LOTS of Te Reo - woohoo!!!

On Friday she took a small group of children to visit Te Puna  at whariki  ( mat time)- these children hadn't been there before and came back very impressed with all the Maori songs the TPK children  sang. We are fortunate to have Te Puna so close and intend to keep up our visits and build on the relationships that we have with the staff there. Karen, the Supervisor was on the Reggio trip that Michelle and Lorraine did in 2010 and Te Puna Kohungahunga has been one of the three centres 

involved in the MAPS research project along with St AndrewsEpsom ECC and Helensville Montessori.
