This year we have introduced a new part of our Māori programme within our Kura and we have Māori slides that are shared with the tamariki daily.

These include our termly karakia and whakatauki, weekly kupu (word), rerenga kōrero (sentence) and kiwaha (Idiom)

Our Term 4 karakia is:

Kia hoahoa te katoa, tiakina te hapori

Whakakoakoa…. Tātou tātou.

Ahakoa haere tātou ki hea,

Kia kotahi tātou katoa.

Tihei mauri ora.

Let us all be friends and care for the community,

having fun and including others. 

Where we go one, we go all,

You are one of us.
