Aotearoa/New Zealand prides itself as a nation that is proactive in the advocacy of biculturalism. The national early childhood education curriculum Te Whaariki is arguably the very first such bicultural document. To understand how an acclaimed bicultural curriculum document is transferred into the reality of a bicultural educational practice, a close lens of that reality has been aquired. This work investigates how early childhood education practitioners implement the New Zealand National Early Childhood Education Curriculum document (Te Whaariki) through a bicultural practice. Specific focus drew on the perspectives, experiences and aspirations of teacher educators in relation to their own bicultural practice. A snapshot in time has been provided through teacher educators voicing their understanding and practice of biculturalism. Some basic questions around the understanding of biculturalism and Te Whaariki as a bicultural guide have indicated that more needs to be provided in assisting the educators of our bicultural future to implement a bicultural curriculum and to realise a bicultural practice.
For me Māori language week and learning is every week BUT I do use the week leading up it to reflect on how much more I am using (also needed for my practicing certificate / teacher registration) and create or source new resources to grow my use or kupu more.This year I bought Where’s Spot? In te reo Māori, Kei Hea a Spot? And this has really helped using sentences with positional language and spatial concepts.

Māori language week has been and gone for another year but this year felt different. There was more energy and I wanted to look at how to keep up the energy and momentum for te reo Māori for myself and other teachers. I connected to the theme kia kaha strongly and this is what sparked my intent.I started with reflection and connection using this whakatauki. I am fortunate to have a cultural advisor and friend who in generous with her time and knowledge. She shared a process with me a long
Inside: A collection of inspiring language quotes for motivating language learners. Learning a new language is no small feat: it requires a huge amount of effort and dedication. Obviously, in certain parts of the word being multilingual is much more common, and then there’s always the lucky ones who simply grew up bilingual.10 Inspiring Language
I have recently discovered the magic of transparencies. These are pictures made with layers of coloured wax paper. You can either put them in the window or they look beautiful on a dark evening with a candle behind. This weekend as part of my children's school Matariki festival I will be holding a workshop making these. They depict the Matariki story of Tamarereti which I will tell followed by lots of creativity. Drawing, Cutting, sticking. You are welcome to come along and bring your children too. All the details of the festival are here. Best wishes Sam Joining in with the Matariki Crafting from Tartankiwi - loads of great projects from Kiwi crafters.

As part of our topic, students in room 27 have been doing mahi about themselves and their area (wahi). Whaea Nicky has been in the class room doing some fantastic work with the students as Matua Tuiono is still recovering from a foot injury. She is very proud of their work and you can visit their art displays in the school hall. Check out the photos below! Mairangi rāua ko Zai Yaarn.

Celebrate Matariki (the Māori New Year) with this fun, effective, simple artwork. Use dye to create a night sky and then add stars. The black silhouette image is not effected by the dye so it makes it an easy process for all students. Use one colour or try blending a few colours together. In the example images shown, a sponge was used instead of a brush to apply the dye to the paper. Crisp black images. Designed on A4 size paper but can easily be enlarged if desired. Draw the 9 stars in the Matariki cluster, or just a random sky filled with stars. Draw or glue stars on once the dye has dried. Cut around the border and display. 12 Different Images: Boy flying kite Māori girl flying traditional kite Girl looking through telescope at the night sky Boy and girl cooking marshmallows on fire Ruru (morepork) sitting in a tree Man with outstretched arms looking at night sky Man pointing to night sky Family of four looking at night sky Man looking at book, identifying stars in the night sky Kiwi Two guys, one playing the guitar Headstones in a cemetery (in reference to the honouring of ancestors who have passed) Included: 12 templates Teacher notes The example artwork shown above was done on regular printer / photocopier paper.
