Raranga Mathiko

My kaupapa is my Pepeha 
On Thursday the 4th of April, we were visited by manuhiri from the Whare Pupuri Taonga, Whaea Waimiiria and Whaea Stacey were their names. They came to our kura Tamaki Primary to teach us where we came from like our tribes, who our chiefs were or anything that we did not know about ourselves they also came to teach us our pepeha, and we created it digitally. When we were at the Whare Pupuri Taonga we did different activities like Ao Mariko (Virtual Reality), Hākoritanga (Stop Motion), Karetao (Robot), Tinkercad, Peita 3D (paint 3d), Arai Kākariki (Green screen). Whaea Waimiiria then split us into two groups, one group went with Whaea Stacey and one group stayed with Whaea Waimiiria, and then after a while our two groups switched. It was morning tea, and we also begged Whaea Waimiiria if we can hear her voice and everyone was saying “please Whaea Waimiiria” because we all did not know what she sounded like when she sang. In the end, she said okay! We all heard her voice and it was beautiful. Then we had karakia for kai. At 2 in the afternoon, Whaea Waimiiria and Whaea Stacey left our kura to go back to the Whare Pupuri Taonga.
