He Mihi Maioha
E rere nei ngā mihi ki ngā whānau katoa i tautoko i tō tātou puni i te wiki tuatoru. A big massive thank you to all parents who contributed and supported our camp at Mōtakotako pā.
Day one with our tuakana was wonderful climbing our maunga and finishing with a beautiful soak down Toreparu.
Day two started off awesome with our tuakana running the pōwhiri to welcome our teina onto Mōtakotako. Followed by sports, mahi tahi, a beautiful bbq and then fun and laughter down Toreparu.
Day three was a wicked one where a nasty bug took over and a number of tamariki and staff fell ill.
We thank all whānau for the quick response in picking up your tamariki early. Mauri ora☺
Kōka Liz still has a purple sleeping bag and left over clothes from camp. Come and have a look please or she will be taking them to Kahu’s Nest.
Kohi Pūtea
On Sunday 8 March is Maui Dolphin day at Te Kopua Domain. Our Kōhanga Reo is running a stall and would like to give the pūtea they make to our kaumātua group who are travelling to Rarotonga next term. They have asked if we would like to join in and support also.
If you are available to jump on the stall for an hour, or can drop off baking or whatever you can contribute, I know our Kōhanga Reo and kaumātua would absolutely appreciate it. “Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai tātou”
Waka Kōpapa
Kōkā Liz and her two teams are attending the Turangawaewae Waka Regatta on the 20th of March 2015. Whānau who would like to come along and enjoy the day with us please feel free to let Kōkā know. Our two teams are practicing here at kura and on the awa down Ngaruawahia on Wednesday afternoons. Piki mai kake mai.
Kapa Haka ki Te Kōpua
A big reminder, Whāea Chanel would like to meet her Kapaz club students who are performing at The Maui Dolphin Day outside Jo’s Takeaways at 12.15pm on Sunday. Please make sure your tamaiti is dressed in black shorts or skirt and a black tshirt or dress shirt. Please support Whāea Chanel in any way you can.
Ngā Rawa nō te Kāinga
Please, please remind tamariki NOT to bring personal items to kura like toys and mp3 players. Kaiako will not take responsibility for any loss or damage to personal items that tamariki are bringing to kura.
Marau ā Whānau
Marau ā whānau projects for term two will be sent home to whānau in week 7 of this term. This kaupapa is about empowering the learning between our tamariki and whānau. It will consist of two projects given out by the kaiako, whānau choosing one of these projects to work on, and then presenting this project at the end of term two with your tamariki. Kia rite mai tātou!

Whakataetae Kauhoe
