Whanau Hui

We had the most amazing time at the Trentham School Whanau Hui tonight. Kaumatua Matt Konia kicked things off with a karakia and a description of the important places in our wider Wellington area, before we all got crafting! We wrote our own pepeha and presented them in beautiful Korowai we created with our whanau. Some will be shared proudly at school in our hall. Thank you to the Weka Hub families that came down to participate. It was awesome to see you all there.

Weka Hub Inquiry Art

During Term 3, Weka Hub students learnt all about culture - whether this was looking into their own culture or looking at our hub and school culture. Our goal was to create a piece of art that displays our learning and understanding.

We collected bottle tops, we borrowed glue and a piece of wood. We used left over paint from our Treemendous Makeover to create the piece of art below:

'Ako' refers to the learning process, whether this is from teacher to learner or learner to teacher - it shows the reciprocal nature of learning within Weka Hub and Trentham School.  This is an important part of our culture.

We can't wait to display this for everyone to see.
