E ngā kāwai heke o tērā whānau, o tērā hapū, e ngā ringa hāpai i ngā kaupapa o Ngā Uri O Ngā Iwi, tēnā koutou katoa. E tangi ana te ngākau ki ngā tini mate kua pania ki te kōkowai o Hinenuitepō, haere, haere oti atu ai. Ko te pito mate ki te pito mate. Ko te pito ora ki te pito ora. Kua tae ora tātou ki te mutunga o tēnei tau kura, e whai whakaaro ana ki a rātou mā kua pāngia tonutia e ngā taumahatanga o te urutā e hōrapa haere ana i te ao whānui. I tēnei wiki, kua tukua ngā mihi matihere ki ngā raukura tau ono e whakawhiti atu ana ki te kura takawaenga. I rangona te aroha o te teina ki te tuakana, ka rangona ngā kupu whakatenatena a te tuakana ki te teina. Me mihi ka tika ki ngā mātua e wehe atu ana i tō tātou whānau kura. Mei kore aku ā koutou tautoko - hei kaikaranga, hei kaiāwhina akomanga,hei kaikohi pūtea, hei kaimahi ki ngā noho ā-marae, hei māngai mō tātou ki te Poari, hei ringatoi, hei aha atu, hei aha atu. I tēnei wiki i poroporoakitia te ringa rehe o te ao haka a Whaea Vikki . Poho kererū katoa mātou ngā kaiako i ngā kupu whakamānawa i kōrerotia e ngā akonga mōna i whakapau kaha i roto i ngā tau e rima ki te whāngai i ngā pūkenga haka ki a rātou. Kua whakakipakipa a Vikki i ngā tamariki katoa o te Rehu ki te ngākaunui ki ngā taonga kāmehameha o te mahi a Te Rēhia, kia kounga tā rātou tū ki ngā papa tūwaewae, pērā i te taiopenga APPA. Kia kaha e te mareikura i tō tūranga hou hei tohunga mō te Ara Poutama. Ka tuku mihi maioha ki a Whaea Louise e nuku nei ki kura takawaenga hei tērā tau. Ka mokemoke ngā tamariki nohinohi ki a koe nā te kaha o tō poipoi i a rātou, ahakoa ngā piki me ngā heke o te ako tawhiti i te wā o te rāhui whakamohoao. Kia matakuikui tā koutou noho ā-whānau i te roanga ake o ngā hararei o te Raumati . Ka nui te aroha o te ngākau ki a koutou katoa, nā Whaea Jane.

Ngā Mahi a ngā Tau 6 nā Whaea Maxine

Tēnā koutou e ngā mātua o ngā tau 6 ō NUONI. I tērā wiki, i haere mātou ko ngā tau on ki Waitītiko ki te mōhio ko tēhea akomanga rātou uru ai ā te tau 2021! I torotoro mātou i te kura hou, i kite rātou i a Matua Donovan rāua ko Kōkā Heather, i kite anō ai rātou i ō rātou hoa o mua. Ināianei, e hikaka ana, e tau ana ngā tau 6 ki te whakawhiti atu hei te tau kei te heke mai ki ō rātou kura hou! Ka wani kē!

I tēnei wiki, i kaha whakaharatau ngā tau 6 e tū rangatira ai rātou ki te konohete ō ngā tau 6. Rua wiki i heke te tōtā, i whakapau kaha, i whakariterite rātou i tēnei kanikani e mīharo ai ā rātou kanikani. Kei runga noa atu rātou i a rātou kanikani hoki! Pāia!

Te Pūrongo o Ngā Tau 4 & 5 nā Whaea Kahi

These past two weeks our Year 4 & 5 students have been working extremely hard getting ready to farewell our year 6 Tuākana. We were tasked with card making, memory writing and sending best wishes for their future endeavours.

They also had to share memories and thank Whaea Vikki for all her mahi. Thank you booklets were made for Whaea Karalee, Matua Chris and Matua Tony for all their wonderful support at Camp Adair. Lastly Wairua wrote cards to farewell our amazingly talented, patient Learning Assistant Jane Timms.

Our tamariki have been dedicated and fixated on the making process. Firstly painting, then finding appropriate whakataukī.

There have been some amazingly heartfelt stories and memories shared by our year 4 & 5’s. Some have brought me close to tears and others were so hilarious that I just couldn’t stop laughing. We have many up and coming talented writers in NUONI!

Te Akomanga teina nā Whaea Tui.

Te pai o ngā mahi o ngā wiki kua pahure, te mīharo hoki o ngā tāmariki e kaha ana ki te ako!

Teina had an awesome week of swimming, developing new skills and learning about water safety. We have also been exploring tāmariki wonderings around volcanoes. Teina tauira were curious to know how volcanoes work and how they are made. As part of the learning around this tamariki constructed papier mache volcanoes. Next students conducted an experiment to see how a volcano erupts. The experiments were successful and the chemical reaction that occurs using baking soda  allowed students to see how a lava flow travels.Teina have also been having fun exploring through drama, a pūrākau about how Tāmaki Makaurau and its volcanoes were created.To top off a busy few weeks Tau 2 joined Nohinohi for a fun day of Junior School Athletics, while Tau 3 and Tau 4 joined the Middle School Athletics Day. It was great to hear that our tāmariki did a great job of participating and giving everything a go.Ahakoa te nui o ngā mahi kua mahia e ngā tāmariki, pārekareka rawa atu!

Nohinohi nā Whaea Louise

Kia ora e te whānau,

Well we are at the end of a very busy term, and nearing the end of our 2020 learning journey in Nohinohi. The tamariki have been working hard in their pānui, pāngarau and tuhituhi and made some great progress and I am super proud of them all. In week 7 we went to Newmarket pools to water safety with the Trent Bray swim school. The tamariki were enthusiastic and keen and had a great time, as you can see in the pictures. Ngā mihi nui, ngā mihi aroha ki ngā mātua who came and helped! We have also loved continuing our kaupapa mahi this term, learning about ngā puia, volcanoes, and how they erupt. The tamariki learnt some kupu Māori for magma, lava, eruption and vent, labelling and colouring in a diagram. Below are some examples. We also completed our piece of toi to represent Mataoho peering into his ipu kai (the crater of Maungawhau) that you will all have seen now. They will look great on a window in your kainga.
