Our Year 2 ākonga are learning about Te Whare Tapa Whā and showing what helps their wairua (spirit) when they are feeling hōhā (grumpy/upset). Moving your Tinana (body), spending time with whānau (family) or whenua (the land/natural environment) were popular! #wspn #ADS #keynote

The Manawatū river has a special story about how it was formed. A famous taniwha called Whāngaimokopuna had many adventures that affected our Manawatū awa. Here are some of our Year 1s Sketches to retell the story! #wspn #ADS #everyonecancreate #tereo #AppleEDU
