Ahi kā – home\, belonging\, relationships. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Analysing learning and making that learning visible for mokopuna\, their whānau and for kaiako themselves can provide the motivation to explore further\, to go deeper\, to carry out research. It is a process that sustains everyone and in doing so the fire keeps burning. Drawing upon the concept of ahi kā\, we want to share how learning stories can provide the inspiration for kaiako to keep the fires burning as they establish and maintain relationships with people\, places\, activities and kaupapa. \nLynette TamarapaNgāti Ruanui\, Te WhakatōheaTumuaki\, Te Kōhanga Reo o Mana TamarikiLynette currently leads the staff team at Te Kōhanga Reo o Mana Tamariki.
