Cleveland and Regan's amazing pepeha.

Room 7 have been learning their whakapapa and developing pepeha that fits with their culture. We have also been very lucky to have Miss Watson who has been teaching Room 7 Mandarin. Watch Cleveland and Regan share their pepeha. Cleveland had only just learnt to speak his pepeha in Mandarin that day!

For those who didn't complete your homework this quote from a man who struggle with his learning as a child. Remember I ask is that you try - if you don't try and expect congratulations or silence you are asking too much from me.

"Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results." Albert Einstein
