What a lovely class!

We have some awesome students and whanau in our class. They love to bring in goodies to share with their teacher and class mates. A big THANK YOU! to you all.

It was wonderful meeting Mauri's mum, Cezahn's mum, Diezel's mum and Mairangi's dad at our whanau hui tonight. It was a positive meeting talking about our past achievements and future aspirations and goals.

Nga mihi nui!

Te Manurewa o Tamapahore

We are learning about the history of Manurewa. The original name is Te Manurewa o Tamapahore. "The drifted away kite of Tamapahore". We are learning the stories of the sacred mountains and the two rangatira Tamapahure and Tamapahore.

In our "Te Reo o te Ata" we are learning to say the following:

Pātai) E noho ana koe ki hea? (Where do you live?)

Whakautu) Kei Te Manurewa o Tamapahore ahau e noho ana. (I live in Manurewa)

SNAPPED!

Guess what Matua found when he was going through his files today hmmmm...lol
