Thank you Papa Noel for giving us the whakamarama to Haere ra e hika....
Farewell oh loved one
To you and your ancestors
Taste the sweet honey of the Harakeke
As you join those who have departed
To us who remain
Leave all our dear ones in the loving care of our creator
Now that you have joined them
Let your resting place be your canoe, captained by Hotutaihirangi
As you journey through the mystic worlds of Rarotua Maheni and Taiopuapua
There you will join Arai-te-Uru and Nukutaimemeha, Maui's waka
From which he fished up this wonderful land of ours.
Haere ra e hika.
Haere ra e hika, koutou ko o matua
Unuhia i te rito o te harakeke
Ka tu i te aroakapa
Aku nui aku rahi e
Aku whakatamarahi ki te rangi e
Waihoa te iwi, mana e mae noa
Kia mate ia nei koe e hika
Ko Atamira te waka ko Hotutaihirangi e
Ko Taiopuapua ko Te Rarotua Maheni e
Ko Arai-te-Uru ko Nukutaimemeha
Ko te waka i hii ai e
Te Whenua nui nei

Mauriora ki te whanau! Anei nga kupu mo nga moteatea e ako ana matou ki te kura i te wahanga nei...
Kati ra e hika...
Kati ra e hika te takoto i raro ra he ue ake ra
Ka he to manawa ka titiro ki uta ra ki Hikurangi maunga
Ko te puke tena i whakatauki ai a Porourangi e
Ka rukuruku a Te Rangitawaea i ona rinena e
Ka mamae hoki ra...
Ka mamae hoki ra te tini o te tangata
Ka mamae hoki ra ki a tama na tu
Ka takitahi koa nga kaihautu o te waka o Porourangi
Ka areare koa, puanga i tona rua
Taku hiahia e...
Kia ora tonu koe hei karanga i o iwi
Ka tutu o rongo ki nga mana katoa
Ko Tama i Te Mania ko Tama i Te Paheke
Kua ngaro koe e hika ki te po
Aue, Ko nga iwi katoa e aue mai na
Ka nui taku aroha, na!

Two more sleeps until camp!!
Kia ora whanau! We are well on our learning journey for 2009 and would like to invite our tuakana whanau to attend a whakawhanaungatanga evening here in our classroom. Dates are still to be confirmed but there will be a panui sent out with each student along with invites as soon as we receive confirmation. This night will consist of dinner, fun and games, curriculum korero and finally a sleep over for our tuakana. Further details to follow so watch this space!!!
Thursday, February 26, 2009Hey whanau! We've been really productive in the tuakana class this week... Numeracy is well on its way, our publishing folders are looking GANGSTAH, as are our Kaupapa books and our gardens are starting to pump. AND, we even have some awsome swimmers that are competing in the East Coast Swimming Competitions up at Te Wai U. (Good luck guys and gals). What more could we ask for?
The camp/curriculum evening has been a hit with students and whanau. We've got lots of support... Thank you Aunty Eva (she's going to feed us, yay!), Jim and Bernie (letting us use their kayaks), Aunty Kura and Harry (showing off their students surf skills), Koka Hoana (generally good for pumping up our competitiveness!), Nanny Pani (Mmmmm fried bread, can't wait), Papa John Ku (crayfisherman), Joe Chaffey and Tamararo (taking some students eeling) and Maria Tamepo (sleeping over with us). There is always room for more whanau so feel free to come along and join in!
We will also be doing some other activities during the night... Look out for the midnight swimmers in the pool and we'll try not to keep the whole of the bay up with our beautifull voices on singstar!
Bring on week 6!
