He Korowai Hapori - Ruapotaka Marae

This morning's double period of ICT/Digitech, 9RMz went to Ruapotaka Marae in Glen Innes to learn more about sustainability in the Tamaki Community. As we were settled in our seats, Whaea Noelene introduced herself and what they had been working on. He Korowai Hapori was the name of their work. They had made this Korowai to represent the past, present and future of the housing development in the Tamaki Community. The Korowai that they had presented to us was made of wire and little plastic houses that were threaded onto the Korowai. Whaea Noelene talked about how the present helps our future, so we need to work hard in school and everything we do, so that our future will be better.
