Last Thursday students and teachers from 5 primary schools gathered to learn how to play the Cloak of Protection game. Words & photos from Gill Stewart, local enviroschools facilitator.
They were hosted by St Patricks School in Masterton.
In the hall, JiL Hemming, the creator of the game, enthusiastically shares her passion for the game all over the Lower North Island with students in schools.
It is a game that can be played by students from 7 years up to 99 years. Jill reports some families play it for hours at a time.
Here we are sharing the Enviroschools way:
Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua.
Care for the land – care for the people – go forward.
