Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Tamariki (children) at Te Kura o<br />
Tuahiwi will soon be learning to read<br />
stories about their whānau.<br />
Acollaboration between the school,<br />
Tuahiwi Marae and Te Whare Wānanga<br />
oWaitaha (University of <strong>Canterbury</strong>)<br />
researchers has turned five Tuahiwibased<br />
stories into children’s picture<br />
books to help the school’s structured<br />
literacy programme.<br />
The books will be published in Te Reo<br />
and have been illustrated by local Māori<br />
artists Christine Harvey, Tōmairangi<br />
Taiepa and Akeake Taiepa.<br />
Former Te Kura oTuahiwi principal<br />
Melanie TaitePitama says the school<br />
became astructured literacy pilot<br />
school three years ago.<br />
As abilingual school with full<br />
immersion classes, the teachers soon<br />
found there were no resources in Te<br />
Reo.<br />
‘‘We decided it was beneficial to have<br />
books written by our people, for our<br />
people and in Te Reo, and the university<br />
was able to find some funding,’’ Ms<br />
TaitePitama says.<br />
The stories are about the marae and<br />
growing up in the kainga (village).<br />
The university’s research team, led by<br />
education senior lecturer Dr Amy Scott,<br />
met with local kaumātua (elders) and<br />
collected more than 20 hours of kōrero<br />
(conversation) on video.<br />
The stories included experiences of<br />
kapa haka, mahinga kai (food gathering),<br />
mahi īnanga (whitebaiting), the history<br />
of the Kaiapoi Pā and intergenerational<br />
experiences of the marae.<br />
The footage was shared with local<br />
rangatahi (former Tuahiwi pupils) to<br />
choose the best stories.<br />
Dr Scott says the research team will<br />
continue to work with Ngāi Tūāhuriri to<br />
research the impact of these stories in<br />
the learning of 5to8yearolds at the<br />
kura (school).<br />
‘‘The project is already showing the<br />
value of having stories immortalised and<br />
working in collaboration.<br />
‘‘We’re creating ablueprint for other<br />
marae and iwi, and how they might go<br />
through the process of capturing their<br />
own stories as children’s books.’’<br />
Te Kura oTuahiwi teacher Andrea Te<br />
OhaereFox says the school now has the<br />
use of some Te Reo resources, but she is<br />
looking forward to having the new<br />
Tuahiwi books in class.<br />
‘‘In the past we’ve had to make our own<br />
resources, or translated English<br />
resources into Te Reo.<br />
‘‘So to have someone make resources<br />
for us has been great. It will be really<br />
cool when we’ve got those actual local<br />
stories for this area and we will be<br />
learning them along with the tamariki.’’<br />
The books will remain the property of<br />
Ngāi Tūāhuriri.<br />
Tuahiwi Marae kaikaranga (caller) Liz<br />
Kereru said the videos and manuscripts<br />
would be returned to marae’s archives.<br />
‘‘Our long term goal will be to donate<br />
the books into the local libraries so<br />
people can share the stories and we will<br />
be gifting the stories back to the<br />
whānau.’’<br />
