Room 2

In Room 2 we have been looking at Maori designs we could use in a moko (maori design that is worn on the face). We studied the meanings of different, well known designs and talked about how they reflect not only the shapes we see in nature, but how they represent our ancestral or family links. Each child researched the meanings and then looked at how they could apply these meanings to their own whanau (family). They had to ensure that the designs were symmetrical and were able to be painted onto the chin or face. Here are some wonderful examples they came up with. These can also be viewed in each child’s portfolio along with an explanation for their own design at the end of this term. Pai rawa atu tamariki ma!!!
