Discover the art of Mãori taonga carvings made by Point View school students, showcasing craftsmanship and lasting friendships.

Point View School Year 5 and 6 students recently engaged in a special project during their technology lessons – creating Māori taonga bone or wood carvings. Each child had the opportunity to design their own masterpiece, while it was up to their friends to bring those designs to life.

What makes this project truly special is that bone carvings can last a lifetime, just like our friendships can. Each piece crafted by their friend will serve as a constant reminder of the bond they share. It’s a beautiful way to symbolize the enduring nature of friendship.

Through this hands-on experience, students not only honed their artistic skills but also learned the value of collaboration and teamwork. Working together to create something meaningful fosters a sense of unity and appreciation for each other’s talents.

As these young learners showcased their creativity and craftsmanship, they also built lasting memories and strengthened their bonds with one another. The beauty of this project lies not only in the tangible carvings they created but also in the intangible connections and friendships that were nurtured along the way.

May these Māori taonga bone and wood carvings serve as a reminder to cherish the friendships and time at PVS, just as the skills and memories gained in this project will endure for a lifetime.
