**Room 14's Progress 2013**

 * Nau mai, haere mai ki Akomanga Tekau Ma Wha/Room 14.**
 * Kia ora tatou!**
 * Matariki has come and gone but the kaupapa of sharing and reflection continues.**
 * Toku mara o Matariki/ our Matariki garden has been resting. Papatuanuku needs this so she can welcome the new planting according to the Maramataka/ the Lunar calendar in the coming koanga/spring.**
 * This fits in well with the topic the Seniors are looking at this term. We are studying the Moon and its cycles/phases.****The Maramataka tells us when we should plant our new vegetable crops according to how the Moon appears in the night sky.**
 * Te mara o Matariki has had some awesome kaitiaki looking after her this year. We would like to thank Monika and Dave for their tautoko/ support. Our garden is quite a large space and in the spirit of Matariki, akomanga 14 would like to share the guardianship/kaitiakitanga with the three other classes within the senior team, Nga Akomanga/Rooms 15, 16, and 17.**
 * Akonga in Room 14 sketched some designs of how we can divide the mara/garden into four areas. The designs were of a very high standard. Eventually Victoria, Simone and Imlah's designs were shortlisted. Ka mau te wehi!!!**
 * We are still deciding what vegetables to plant. Mrs Sami has been trying to find some native vegie seeds and plants. Work in progress!**
 * Ka kite akuanei! See you again soon!**
