In the mornings, we start the day with a Karakia, kupu (word)
and whakatauki (proverb). This karakia is a great way for the students to focus
on setting themselves up for the day with the right mind-set for learning.
The
kupu is changed every week and is based around a sentence. This term is based
on asking what the weather is like. The proverb changes twice a term and is
based on learning aspects.
Haere Mai and Welcome to the Māori Blogger site for Marshland School. This site has been created to celebrate the teaching and learning of Māori at Marshland School. The Māori culture makes us unique and special as kiwis is our unique and beautiful indigenous culture. We can all connect with our ‘kiwiness’ through Te Reo me ōna Tikanga Māori, and showcase our unique gifts to the rest of the world! We welcome you as whānau, kaiako and ākonga to learn together and embrace the concept of AKO.
