Learning Observed

Today, as part of our visit to Umupuia Marae in Maraetai, the learners were involved in a weaving activity. Anisha and Ameerah worked together, taking turns to weave the paper strips under and over the black strips. Anisha and Ameerah chose to use the traditional Maori colours of black, red and white. I observed them talking with each other trying to figure out if the strip needed to go over or under the black paper.
