Kia ora e te wh\u0101nau,<\/p>

What a fantastic term we have had in the Kahikatea team! Ng\u0101 \u0101konga have settled in beautifully with their 2024 home groups, and it has been wonderful to see friendships grow and rich learning taking place. Thank you for your ongoing support as we 'fill our kete for the journey.'<\/p>

Katie and Amber have enjoyed co-leading the Kahikatea team during Term 1. Amber will be the Acting Team Leader from the beginning of Term 2. She is very excited to be stepping back into this role for 2024 while Katie continues working in her Acting Deputy Principal role for the remainder of the year.<\/p>

Identity<\/h3>
Our concept-based inquiry this year is Identity. This term, we have worked really hard to learn new kupu (words) and rerenga kupu (phrases) by learning our pepeha (introduction) in Te Reo M\u0101ori.<\/div>

<\/div>
Pepeha is a way for all of us to express to others who we are and where we come from. In Te Ao M\u0101ori it builds whanaungatanga (relationship\/connection).<\/div>

<\/div>
For Ma\u014dri (tangata whenua), pepeha is a set form of words that is recited. Pepeha is about places and people that M\u0101ori are connected to through their whakapapa (genealogy).<\/div>

<\/div>
Non-M\u0101ori (tauiwi\/tangata t\u012btiri) can have a pepeha if they think about some rules (tikanga M\u0101ori). They can express their connection to the places and people they connect to through their own whakapapa.<\/div>

<\/div>
Each child planned their pepeha, similar to the one below. They then practiced and practiced their pepeha. We are so proud of how well everyone has done! You can look forward to seeing your child's pepeha in their mid-year report learning post.<\/div>

<\/div>

Ko wai t\u014d pepeha? What is your pepeha?<\/b><\/a><\/div>

Teddy Bears Picnic<\/h3>
It was such a treat to come to school in our pyjamas with our favourite teddy bear yesterday! We did a range of fun teddy bear related activities. Here are some photos of the fun!<\/div>
