    Whanaungatanga:

    Whanaungatanga is about relationships, kinship and a sense of family connection. It is created through shared experiences and working together and provides people with a sense of belonging. It comes with rights and obligations, which serve to strengthen each member of that whānau or group.

    This week will be focussed learning more about each other better or to become like a family and build relationships in our classroom.

    We will also learn a simple mihi and review some basic sentence patterns that we learned in year 7 & 8 te reo Māori.
