Ka noho a Te Puna Matauranga ki Poututerangi

Trudie Ririnui —

Wk 1 Kei te ako tōnu a TPM i te Hauora pai.

It was our privilege to be the first group welcomed back to the Poututerangi marae following lockdown.  Our tamariki well and truly blew away the stillness!  

He aha ētahi mea pai i ngā akonga?  When asked, what were the best things about our noho; ka kī a rātou: the FOOD, making our beds, the soup, talking to/ having time with my friends, Kapahaka, our walk-abouts, the movie night, the games of rugby, cards and Spotlight and supper!  They enjoyed our guest speaker o Ngāti Ranginui Iwi a Te Aihi Tomo.  Brodie and Jade from the Hauora also made introductions.

And so, our kaupapa was met; whakawhanaungatanga me manaakitanga mai.
