Tōku Whānau

Year 4 have been sharing information about themselves during our unit on 'Tōku Whānau' (My Family). 

We learnt about our:
                            Matua       (Parents)               Māmā    Pāpā
                            Kaumatua (Grandparents)     Kuia       Koro
                            Siblings Tuakana (older)
                                          Teina (younger)
                            Me         Ahau

We learnt that the term Whānau means more than just our immediate family. That it is wider than that and includes all family members who share their knowledge 

and aroha with us. 

We used koru shapes to honour the different members of our whānau in a piece of art which represents our whakapapa.
