Term 4 - Week 2: Ki O Rahi

This term students will be learning to play Ki O Rahi. The game of Ki O Rahi is based on the Purakau (legend) of Rahitutakahina and the rescue of his wife Tiarakurapakewai. The tākaro is a reflection of Tupuna story telling at its best, as well as provides an insight into the way in which they would explain and design Tākaro to reflect their unique "world view". The Papa Tākaro (field) layout of Ki o Rahi and the way the Tākaro is played is a perfect example of this. All lessons are on Wednesday after morning tea, feel free to pop by and play along!

Term 4 - Week 1: Welcome Back

Welcome to our last, but arguably busiest term!
We had a trip to Te Kohanga School in the Waikato today. It was very exciting to visit a rural school and experience their Ag Day. Our students got to pet the goats, lambs and chooks.
Some firm friendships were made and a good time was had by all!
