Start of the School Year - Illustrate Me!

At the start of each new year activities like these are really great for children to get to know each other.  In the past I've had children creating a visual mihimihi.  This is similar to the below, though makes more reference to your whanau (family), whakapapa (family tree) and Turangawaewae.  Children can have a photo of themselves in the middle of the page, then a design that represents their whanau (ie koru/kowhaiwhai pattern), something that represents their culture and so on.

This year I decided to try more of a comic style approach.

Some ideas that children could use to 'illustrate' themselves.  What is your favourite:

• Colour
• Piece of clothing
• Toy
• Food
• Book
• Pastime (i.e. going for a walk)
• Sport
• Place to visit with your family
• Memory
• Pet/animal
• Music/musical instrument
