It's always fun to find out how art projects happen..... and how our local tūrangawaewae is developed. Our children really enjoyed observing Ari the carver working on our entranceway project in action. As a group of learners we had lots of questions about the tools he used and he explained a lot to us about what each image meant to him as an artist connecting with our Kindergarten environs. He's also made a very different type of art work to the be added to the front of the entryway 'whare' which he has written down his reasoning for..... one of our tamariki with a great sense of being the people who welcome manuhiri ( visitors) tells all his friends and Kaiako we have to get up there together to welcome him with 'tihei mauriora' and 'the Northland Kindergarten song'. He's absolutely right- so we do! great work being fab tangata whenua my friends............
