On the last day of Term 2, we went to Te Papa. This was linked to our whakapapa Inquiry.
We had a session with an educator to discuss immigration. We explored migrations to Aotearoa from the Pacific, Europe and across the world. It was great to think about our own whakapapa too. We learnt about the knowledge, skills, and taonga navigators from around the Pacific brought to Aotearoa. We also discussed how early explorers adapted to and shaped Aotearoa into the country it is today. We learnt about the journeys of 19th and 20th century arrivals from across the globe and how they continue up to the present day.

Next term, we will be looking forward and preparing for the Arts Celebration. We will be learning and creating portraits ourselves. How can we create a collage to capture our own identity?
