Te ao Māori at Marsden Preschool

Inge Doig from Samuel Marsden Collegiate School

Last week Preschool have been talking about the Māori gods, Ranginui, Papātuanuku and Tane God of the forests, learning about his journey to get the 3 baskets or kete of knowledge. Inspired by Tane's story, Preschoolers have each decorated their own kete of knowledge. During their time at Marsden Preschool we will add objects to the kete that reflect our children's learnings so they can take this knowledge with them when they turn 5 and transition to Primary School. We also continued celebrating Chinese New Year, saying farewell to the Year of the Rat and welcoming the Year of the Ox.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
