Week 10 with Papa Jack

Papa Jack is impressed with our Mihi!  Yay!!!  That is super exciting.  We need to remember that we use inside voices when we are inside as the inside belongs to the god of peace.  Outside is where we use our aggressive voices as this space belongs to the god of battle.

We have been focussing on our own Pepeha. Don't forget to get your sheets back in so we know your whanau and your affliations.

Here are the actions for our Pepeha:

Ko Tararua te maunga

Ko Manawatu te awa

Ko Kurahaupo te waka  

Ko Rangitane te iwi  

Ko LC 12/13 te hapu   (action needed)
