Tuakana/Teina Time

Tuakana/Teina refers to the relationship between an older (Tuakana) person and a younger (Teina) person and is specific to teaching and learning in the Māori context. 

At Tamaki Primary we have buddy classes where the younger students can learn from the older ones (and vice versa!) and we call it 'Tuakana/Teina time'.
This year our Buddy class is Room 5 with Miss May.
Today we had our first time together, with a focus on our letter of the week 'i'
(We also practiced finding letters, our colours and cutting - THANKS BUDDIES!!!).
