Te Taiao o Tamaki

Te Taiao o Tamaki

Going to Te Oro Art Centre was amazing to discover other schools learning about keeping our ocean clean also about culture and about how they learn at school. My discoveries about the schools we went to was that some had different types of topics the schools had and even if they had the same topic they stall had different reasons of why they chose and why they keep it clean, and that’s why I am moving on.

The first school that Team 4 went to was Somerville primary school. The topic they were talking about was about pests and why we should keep our pests clean and don’t make them pests. The other thing is that if you put an iPad on a animal picture than on the iPad it will look real and clean flesh.

The third option school we went to was Glen Innes primary, the option they were talking about was how to keep our ocean clean. While I was walking one of the students was talking about how and what it looks like to have a clean creek and to have a polluted creek. I was listening to what she was saying about that if we didn’t have trees around our creek then the fish or eels can die or go to another creek, also if there is no trees around the creek then the water will be very hot and can damage the sea animals.

As our for our fifth school to go and explore was Glen Taylor, they were also talking about polluted water but they were using different words into different sentences.  One of the girl students were saying that if we didn’t save water then the water would be wasted, she also said that if water was polluted then the water wouldn’t be good for us to drink and we also wouldn’t have any water. The other things I also saw at Gln Taylor was that was showing slideshows from students who made it about pollution.

The next school we went to was Pt England which is my school. The thing I liked about our school was the games that Team 5 was making I really liked how they set up the games. The other thing I liked was how interesting the bird feeders were, about how we can get more native birds to come around. The most part I liked about the bird feeders is that the objects they made was made from different types of materials like plastic, glass and or sorts of things.

As we walked pass Tamaki College and explored their projects. We only got about fifteen minutes and then we had to go and watch our school perform their Kapa Haka. The Kapa Haka were standing out so hard that they showed the spirit of Maori. The order of what songs they were singing was starting off with Ko Te Whaea, E Ihowa next they sang Hutia Te Rito which was their song that was singing to us about Te Taiao o Tamaki. Next as we were heading off to school, I also had taken the things I had learnt from other schools back to my own school to tell others what I have learnt.
