We have furthered our kōrero about Kaitiakitanga this week in the wake of our visit to Island Bay Marine Education Centre. Over the week we have read a number of books and watched a number of different video clips about some of the creatures we interacted with that day.
One of the memorable creatures for the tamariki of Harakeke were the seaturtles we saw there.

We watched the following clip alerting us to the dangers of plastic in the ocean. This started a kōrero about how to be good kaitiaki of Tangaroa.
We went for a quick hīkoi to the front of the kura. We looked carefully at what was in the gutters leading down to a drain. Just the short frontage on one side of the crossing.
We talked about what would happen when it rained. Where the water would run and how it would take the rubbish with it.
We all felt very concerned for the well being of the turtles and the other children of Tangaroa. Luckily we were able to collect this rubbish and dispose of it properly before it got washed away.
The tamariki from Harakeke made an outstanding effort to collect rubbish from around the school today - protecting Papatūānuku, as well as Tangaroa. Tino pai rawa atu ō koutou mahi i tēnei wiki tamariki mā!
