Wow, every time Pa Jack comes in I get a new piece of information and realise that the Maori Langauge is very logical...

Jack noticed our Matrix wall at the back and translated our Novice, Practitioner and Expert into Maori

Novice = teina
Practitioner = tuakana
Expert = tohunga

When we are participating in our Pou Mihi we should not be eating or fiddling during our Mihi.

We should give our full attention to the Pou.

Hold on you to your dreams - Kia Kaha

Whakawehea - separate/spread out
whakapiri - come together
e noho - sit
wahangu - silent
e tu - stand
peke tahi - hop
kiatiri - fast
noho whariki - sit on the mat

practise this...

rarangi mai kotiro
rarangi mai tama

tama ma, rarangi rua mai - boys line up in 2 lines
kotiro ma, rarangi toru mai - girls, line up in 3 lines
tutira mai - line up straight
rarangi wha mai - line up in 4 lines

Lyrics

whakarongo mai - listen, shoulders back, chins up, face the crowd
wiri wiri - shake hands down by your side

Hoki mai e Tama mā ki roto, ki roto(boys)
I ngā ringa e tuwhera atu nei, (a hi aue aue)
Kei te kapakapa mai te haki, te haki (boys)
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e. Hoki mai, hoki mai

ki te wā kāinga,
Kua tutuki te tūmanako,
(a hi aue aue) (boys)
Kei te kapakapa mai te Haki, te Haki (boys)
Ingarangi runga Tiamana e.
