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!
