Sharing Our Cultures

Multicultural Sharing Day 2020

To celebrate the first four weeks of school and getting to know each other, we had a Cultural Sharing Day.  In Whakamanawa, we started the day finishing off some slides that we have been creating.  We then had a sharing session where a few people presented their slides.  This was a really interesting and fun activity.  The food slides made us hungry and the music was engaging and inspiring.

After morning tea, we started to create our own flags to fly at our school parade in the afternoon.  We then started to prepare for our shared lunch.  We started to learn a karakia for kai and talked about the different types of food we had.

Lunchtime was fantastic and we all loved sharing kai and chats together.

After lunch, we got sorted for our school parade and ready to watch students from across the school perform.  The wind was pretty terrible and the Wifi wasn't much help either but when students were performing, they had the audience captivated.
