Activities for Te Mātahi o te Tau and some Enviroschools updates
Term 3 starting at the time of Te Mātahi o te Tau – Māori New Year seems very fitting. This is a time to come together, honour those who have gone before us, celebrate the present and plan for the future.
We hope that you have been able to take some time to refresh and reflect over the break. You will find a few ideas for Matariki activities here and information about the upcoming Otago teacher Zoom hui.
As we settle back into Term 3 reflecting on our pepeha and mihi is a great way to reconnect. The pepeha and mihi activity in the Enviroschools kit helps us consider where we are from, establish our connections with the natural world, and acknowledge the history and significance of places in our lives.
Check out the activity below.
13 August, 3.30pm–5pm (via Zoom)
Mark this in your diary now. Please note the change in date from the one advertised earlier.
This is our first region-wide Zoom teacher hui. We are looking at the Enviroschools kaupapa of creating a healthy, peaceful, sustainable world through learning and taking action together.
Please share this with all staff at your school.
Join us at 3.20pm so we are ready to start at 3.30pm.
You can still access all of the resources from last term's weekly challenges.
