Hei Tiki Museum Trip

We absolutely loved our Museum Trip today. We learnt all about 'Hei Tiki' including:
* The difference between 'tiki' and 'hei tiki'
* What 'hei tiki' originally meant to people - it was given to females as a sign of wishing healthy children upon them.
* How 'hei tiki' has changed over time - we looked at how it was used in the past and how it is used now.
* What is appropriate and not appropriate to use 'hei tiki' in association with.

We were lucky enough to look at some special 'hei tiki' that the Museum looks after, look at different artwork people have created that include 'hei tiki' and also able to create our own artwork of a 'hei tiki'.

We had a great learning experience today and hope to build on this learning over the coming weeks in our classroom. Here are some photos from today.
