Class Korowai

He oranga ngakau,
He pikinga waiora.

Positive feelings in your heart will raise your sense of self-worth.

The cloak is woven with ideas we brainstormed about children's rights in our classroom. We looked at how everyone has the right to learn, the right to be happy, the right be safe and the right to be respected. With a partner we decorated the strips of our korowai with words, symbols and pictures to illustrate our ideas about hauora [our well being]. The feathers we made individually and these reflect who we are and some aspect of our spirituality.
