2016

Today was our first session with Pa Jack.

He came in to talk to our Team about who we are (Pae Ake) and what our names mean (grow with learning).

We had a look at our logo and what each part means.

The lines is the ground and the koru underneath the ground are our roots.  The koru above the ground are our shoots.  If we nurture our roots and feed them with our learning we will all grow with our knowledge.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

Hangi Prep

Today Pa Jack came and spoke to us about Hangi.

Have a look at the slides

Then play the game

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

Expert = tohunga

Nga mihi mo te...

Today we looked at saying "thank you for..." in Te Reo Maori.  If we are needing to thank people for them doing something for us we can use the phrase:

Nga mihi mo te...

Here are some examples we could say:

• korero (talk)
• mahi pai (work)
• wa (time)
• awhi (help)
• tautoko (support)

The challenge for you is to use this phrase when you want to thank someone.

Kia kaha kotou!
