Raranga Matihiko

Tēnā rā tātou. Nei rā ngā pia pono o Te Puna Wairua e mahi nei i tā te rangatira mahi, ahakoa ngā tai roa a Kupe, kei konei rātou e ū tonu nei ki ngā mahi. Ko te aronga matua ko te mahi ngātahi a te tuakana me te teina ki te kaupapa "he tapuwae tūturu" e mea ana rā te kōrero ki te reo pākehā he "Smart footprint". E pai ai tā rātou whakatutuki i te wāhi ki te raranga matihiko e kīa nei ki te reo pākehā ko te Cybersmart. Kia tau rā ngā manaakitanga a te wāhi ngaro ki runga ki a tātou katoa, mauri ora!

When you stop learning, you will stop growing. Becoming mature not only entails your age, but it should also speak highly of how much you have learned through the years. Seize every chance to learn. Read a book. Listen to people. learn te reo. There are a lot of ways to learn and life is but a huge classroom.

Tangata ako ana i te whare, te turanga ki te marae, tau ana

A person who is taught at home, will stand collected on the Marae (meeting house grounds)

A child who is given proper values at home and cherished within his family, will not only behave well amongst the family but also within society and throughout his life.

Tama tu tama ora, tama noho tama mate

An active person will remain healthy while a lazy one will become sick

An word of encouragement to urge children to participate in activities and exercise. It is like saying, To stand is to live, to lie down is to die.

 He kai kei aku ringa

There is food at the end of my hands

Said by a person who can use his basic abilities and resources to create success.

Ko te amorangi ki mua, ko te hapai o ki muri

The leader at the front and the workers behind the scenes

This is a reference to Marae protocol where the speakers are at the front of the meeting house and the workers are at the back making sure everything is prepared and that the guests are well looked after. It is important to note that both jobs are equally important, and are like the ying and yang, for without one, everything would fail.

Hauoratanga

I tēnei wā kei te aro ana mātou ngā pouako ki te hauoratanga ō te tamaiti ā ngākau ā tinana, ā wairua, ā hinengaro  and  what a better way to start the day with a dance competition. I think i won personally! Congratulations Jeremy and last weeks winner Te Ahimairangi.
