Amelia and Tilly from Korimako share their Pepeha. What fabulous  pronunciation  they have!  

This term the Toroa students looked at our pepeha and delved a bit deeper into our roots. Once we had written it, we put it onto a video and recorded us saying our pepeha. We wanted to have some of our work on the wall, so we created a condensed art piece that had our maunga, awa and ingoa on it. 

Arlo and Cian present the Kupu ō the Wiki.

  So proud of our tamariki today. What an amazing performance and such fine ambassadors for our kura. We will post the youtube video when it is released. Riki

Here are the winners for the Colouring in Competition for Māori Language Week. It was a tough judging as there was so many great artists out there.  The winners are: Kiwi Isabel, Miller and Zoe Pukeko Mauritz, Braxton and Gemma S Tui Skyla, Bridie, Emmy and Cody 

“Our Māori Language Moment will take place at   12pm on Monday the 14 th   September 2020 . This marks the day and the hour in 1972 when a group of Māori language champions presented a petition on the steps of parliament calling for te reo to be taught in our schools." We all decided to sing a waiata outside our hubs on both the Monday and Thursday to different waiata.
