Pepeha Art

-
Today the children in Room 15 finished their pepeha artwork. We are so pleased with how it has turned out and that everyone was able to share the special places their family whakapapa to. Check out some of the artwork below:














Some of the children have been using the Stop Motion Animation app on the ipads to create stories during play-based learning. Here is one about a garden, some honey bees and a bee keeper.

Today we were lucky enough to visit a beautiful piece of artwork showing  Ko Hāta Maria, te Matua Wahine o te Atua - Holy Mary, Mother of God. It was created by Dunedin artist, Damian Walker, who has integrated aspects of the Māori culture into his work. For example, Mary is holding 12 fern fronds and each koru represents an apostle. She is wearing a tiki around her neck which symbolises her motherhood. Baby Jesus is wearing a kahu kiwi (Kiwi feathered cloak) which was only ever worn by Māori chiefs or people with prestigious mana. The children were blown away by the stunning details within the painting and how they all had a special meaning. Father Thomas was able to answer many questions about the art before leading us in singing Ave, Ave, Ave Maria.
