Aroha 6: Wahoo! It is Whetū and Nick time!

This week the whole school were privileged to go on an excursion by travelling by bus to watch a fun educational,  dual language performance showcase written in both Te Reo and English called Whetū & Nick!!!

Whetū & Nick is about a young Māori girl and a British orphan cabin boy who set out in search of Jame's Cook’s map, a flying kite and the sacred maunga (mountain).  

Along the way they discover their cultural differences and similarities, their people’s voyages and their shared love of Aotearoa.  Their young lives will take a significant turn as they go through the forest and find themselves on the top of the sacred maunga.

​

What a great learning experience it was for Aroha 6.  We sure had fun on the bus, sharing our ideas all the way back to school.

Here are some of our learner's voices about the Whetū and Nick performance show...

Giana : I liked how Whetū  was singing and how she spoke Te Reo Māori and how she made the boy go sleep

Ivana: I liked going on the bus and how Whetu went through the storm and it was dark

Kiran: I liked Nick because he looks cool

Pratik: I liked Nick when he had a bleeding foot he was so funny screaming

Seira: I liked the wind lady because she was funny
