At Mahi nga tamariki and I created a weaved wall display out of red flax. Following instructions they worked away and taking their flax strands under and over and vice versa. They were focused and had fun. I shared stories and taught them a song. We shared literacy and numeracy recognition in reo. We shared about our whakapapa, and a family sharing with me how they just recently discovered they whakapapa back to Ngai Tahi. The tones and expressions shared his and his child's happiness. It has been a blessed week.
