Hi (Lucky) Followers of Room 8,
This term our rich task inquiry is around Turangawaewae. This is a student lead investigation based on the fertile question:
WHO SAYS WHO I AM?
This is a presentation Jesse did to introduce us to his Turangawaewae.

We got together as a class and created this definition of Turangawaewae:
... is when we acknowledge, understand and are proud of our family, our country, our heritage, our community and our place within them all.
Here are some questions that we hope will be answered:
