Waharoa

At the end of last year (2008) Pekerau School was very privileged to unveil a carved gateway for our school. The gateway was designed and carved by students at Te Wananga o Aotearoa (Apakura Campus). The designs represent Pekerau School, its students and teachers, its families and the environment that was here in the past.
 * What is a waharoa????**



This year, our room6tui will be re discovering the meanings of our waharoa and will be designing a "waharoa" or gateway into our classroom to represent who we are and how we belong to Pekerau School.

Here it is..we know you've been waiting to see it.........

The children and teachers of room6tui created our own waharoa for the outside of our classroom door. Each design represents something about what we like to do, what we enjoy most or something we are interested in. The waharoa tells visitors the story of the people who belong to room 6. The koruru in the middle of the pare(cross beam over door) is a tui. The waharoa tells everyone we are **room6tui.

When you are in school make sure you have a look at our waharoa....and while you're there take a look inside our classroom at the work we've been doing !!**
