Ngā Poaka e Toru

Kei te ako mātou e pā ana ki te kōrero o ngā poaka e toru. We are learning the story of the 3 little pigs i te reo Māori. We are using this story in Pānui, tuhituhi, Ngā toi and tīkanga-a-iwi by relating the story to our wharenui. We are also doing a play in class this week!

Marae Noho 2015

Morena Koutou,

We would just want to thank all the parents, teachers, whanau and students who helped with our Noho marae last week.  It was absolutely awesome. 

Appreciation and thanks must go to Matua Tuiono for the korero on our maunga, Matua Richard and whanau for taking our boys for Mau Rakau, Whaea Joy and her whanau for teaching us a waiata, Whaea Rachel, Whaea Oronsay and all those in the back who prepared and cooked our kai.  Without you all we would not have had such a successful evening. 

Last but not least to all our wonderful tamariki who are the most awesome of all for coming to stay and participate in the tikanga that makes us Maori. 

Thanks also to Matua Dudley and Sue for always being there for us. 

Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa,

Matua Dereck maua ko Ma Cynthia
