Sharing our Taonga Kete's

Developing a sense of belonging within an early childhood environment, is critical to a child's sense of security and directly impacts the rich learning experiences that they take part in.  In order to strengthen the development of the relationships between tamariki within Uxbridge, we have implemented a Taonga Kete.  This Kete is a very special bag that tamariki are invited to take home and put in a very special item.  The item could be a special photograph, a family heirloom,cultural artifact,a treasured book or story, or piece of jewellery.  This item will help us to learn about you and your Whanau and things that you hold special.
