Kete Aronui: (noun) basket of knowledge of aroha, peace and the arts and crafts which benefit the Earth and all living things - one of the three baskets of knowledge. This basket relates to knowledge acquired through careful observation of the environment. It is also the basket of ritual, of literature, philosophy and is sometimes regarded as the basket of the humanities.
This year our Art Exhibition is entitled "Kete Aronui". The focus for our art in the upcoming term will be Māori and Pasifika patterns and symbols. As a class we will be learning about the meanings and significance of these symbols and incorporating them into our art.
As always, you, as whānau of the learners, are one of our greatest resources. I would love for anyone who would like to come along and share their knowledge to get in touch.
In Room 18 we have begun this journey by exploring the koru and pikorua symbols.
