[Tamaki 1 @ Sommerville Special School] CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS - TAMAKI 1

Sommerville Special School pride themselves in celebrating the cultural diversity of our students.  This term, we have celebrated Matariki ( Maori New Year) and Tongan Language Week.  Staff and students have taken part in Waiata (song) and dance (kanikani). These are some of the highlights of our celebrations;

This is our Maori Flag Our classes all participated in our own waiata and dance for the Whanau (family)

Tamaki Primary came over to perform for us.

Tamaki 1 performed a poi waiata & were awesome at swinging the poi!

The library was decorated with Maori art from classes at Tamaki & Sommerville.  We also had a 'hakari', (Celebratory luncheon) for the whanau.

TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK

Our Tongan Community at the school graciously put on a luncheon for staff & students to share some of their culture through food and music.

We have all been spoiled with different cultural performances and food.  Thank you so much to all staff involved in our cultural experiences! 

Donna Ryan made a speech thanking the Tongan Whanau for sharing their traditional food.

We all enjoyed the kai (food) that was provided.  We were all so full after!
