This term tamariki enquiry has been based around Piriharakeke - The Manawatū River Loop at Foxton.

Students have visited Te Awahou Niewe Stroom, Foxton Flax Museum, and Te Whare Manaaki as part of their learning. They’ve also learned about our local taniwha, including Papangaio.

Today Ruma Rakau (Senior Rumaki Reo) shared their whakaari about the story of Papangaio.

Ka mau te wehi tamariki mā!

Tamariki have designed a performance around taniwha of the Manawatu and they’re excited to present this tomorrow from 11am (Wednesday, September 16). We’d love to invite whanau to join us and celebrate this mahi. Each performance is about 10mins long.
