Pepeha

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about our pepeha. For some people who don’t know what a pepeha is, a pepeha is the story of your life and going back to your ancestors and how they got here. Other people don’t have the same pepeha, (unless they are in the same family) because it doesn't relate to who you are and how your family got to New Zealand. What I did well with my pepeha is that I got to know where my family came from because my Mum’s side came from Britain.
