Ngā Koiora a Raranga / Tau 1 – 5

Weaving the Biodiversity (of Te Tauihu)

Our wonderful stained-glass window is used as a focus for this experience.

Ākonga will learn some of the natural history and the legends of the creatures depicted. Objects from our collection will be used to support the programme. Ākonga will then make their own 'stained glass' images.
