In the first two weeks of school, Rimu class learnt how to create and say our mihi in Māori. This is our introduction to our class and community. We also created a ‘visual mihimihi’ to match our mihis. It had three parts to it:
- A self portrait or photo
- place of significance
- Symbols or pictures that represent our culture
Those of us who spoke clearly, confidently with excellent pronunciation with great visuals and layout scored well on our rubric.
