Today was our first day with Mrs Mercer...
Te Reo Maori with Pa Jack/Kelly Mercer
Pou Mihi:
·
Some of our actions aren’t quite right let’s
wait until Papa Jack shows us the right ones
·
What does it actually mean?? We are family and part of a group. We are hear to learn and make new friends
·
A mihi that can be used at anytime for any
reason.
·
Tena koutou katoa – this start the mihi
·
Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa –
this ends the mihi and replaces “tehei mauri ora”
·

understand the importance all of the things that inspire and motivate you
