Whakawhanaungatanga - Inquiry AT1 2023

This academic term our school-wide Inquiry has been based around Whakawhanaungatanga. Through this unit students had to create a piece of art that tells a story of relationships, kinship, a sense of family connection, friendship or reciprocal relationship - a relationship through shared experiences and working together which provides people with a sense of belonging. 

Here is a video overview of all the great learning that happened school-wide during this unit.

Room 13's final art project brings together all of the learning that was completed throughout this unit. Our art was inspired by New Zealand artist Joanne Webber, who was known for her Kiwiana art work. The art has four main aspects – the huia bird, the symbols, the tukutuku panels and the students name.
