This programme is for the following year groups: Year 1-8

With the Māori Court closed, our Whare Tipuna learning adventure is shifting into a museum classroom space and straight to your kura! Ākonga will dive into the stories carved into a whare tipuna, explore the magic of whakairo, kōwhaiwhai, and tukutuku, and uncover the pūrākau behind these artforms. Best of all, your ākonga will get hands-on and learn the basics of creating their own tukutuku panel—bringing tradition to life and turning mātauranga into creation.
