Living Heritage -
Mahana School
The Mahana Whakapapa
Curriculum Links
Mahana Whakapapa is a project about our history. We looked at it in our families through Games our Grandparents Played, and in our school through Happy Birthday Mahana School, and in events that affected people in New Zealand, including Maori and settlers in our area. We hope you will find our work interesting. We learned a lot about our families, our school and our region's and country's history.
