Tanerore !



Kick Start
Step it up

This activity was a BLAST ! I had so much energy and fun drawing these Maori patterns, This was challenging because I would always ruin a part. These designs I drew includes, Koru, Kowhai Ngutu Kaka and Mango Pare. 
Comment down below which Maori pattern is your favourite?

  1. Kia Ora Deborah,

    My name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey.

    I thought this activity was very interesting as it teaches you about Tānerore who you are able to see often on these hot summer days and about the infamous kowhaiwhai pattern seen throughout Māori culture. Could you share what you learnt about Tānerore?

    It is great to see that you did the step it up activity and I think both of your Kowhaiwhai patterns look amazing, I think the Mangopare pattern is my favourite as it symbolises the hammerhead shark. Which was your favourite pattern?

    Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.

    Ngā mihi nui,
    Zana Yates

  2. Kia ora Deborah

    My name is Renee and I’m from the Summer Learning Journey Team. Ka pai for creating these awesome kowhaiwhai designs, you are a very talented artist! My favourite part of your designs are the koru patterns, which remind me of the ferns I see when I go tramping in the bush sometimes. Do these designs remind you of anything? If you were to add some colours to these drawings which colours would you choose?

    I really appreciate that you completed both the “kick-start” and “step-up” sections of this activity. This is excellent and means that you will get extra points towards your Summer Learning Journey tally.

    Ngā mihi nui and keep up the excellent mahi - I can’t wait to see your other posts over the summer.

    1. Thank you Renee, If I were to add colours it would be red and black just because they are the original colours for Maori patterns!

  7. Hi Deborah,

    My name is Sakshi and I am a year 8 student in Panmure Bridge School. I saw this blog post while scrolling through your blog. It is amazing! Me and my friends often visit your blog as you complete all the activities and have been an active blogger. I have also completed this activity and have posted this on my blog as well!

    Your designs looks spectacular! It is such a great example to show others. I liked how you have asked a question in the end. All your designs are beautiful but if I had to chose one it would be koru. What did you learn about Tanerore from this activity? Did you know about the designs earlier or you came to know about them after completing the activity?

    Good job! I am looking forward for your reply.
