Pepeha is a way of introducing yourself in Māori. It tells people who you are by sharing your connections with the people and places that are important to you.
This term Room 3 have been learning their pepeha. They created small booklets of their important people. They included their parents and siblings. Some added grandparents and extended whānau.
Yesterday and today we used our pepeha in a 'marae' setting we created in the classroom. We listened to our school waiata, Ko tenei te wā, then we took turns to share our pepeha by talking about our family (whānau) with our class.
Today we farewelled 4 children who are moving to Kākāpo hub next term. We used our pepeha format as part of a formal Poroporoaki for them. Ka kite e hoa ma! We will miss you.
