Tuakana Teina

This week for Maori language week, we helped ruma kotahi (room 1) and ruma korua (room 2) create string art panels. For this art block, my buddy, Mila drew her designs, as I helped her. Then we cut the string and used glue to attach it on Mila's designs. Once we finished attaching the string, we painted over the string. Helping our little buddies Maori context, is called tuakana teina, meaning teaching younger kids Maori. This was a really fun day of painting. I am excited to continue on our art panels next week.
