Mau Rākau Wānanga 2015

This week our Mau Rākau boys went to Whakatū Marae for our Taiaha Wānanga with Matua Solomon.  It was awesome to see our 'Rangatira Āpōpō' accepting the challenges and becoming real leaders.  We learnt new Hakas, karakia, played lots of cool kemu and heard lots of stories about our history.  A massive thank you to Matua Solomon for sharing all of his knowledge with us.  Ngā mihi to all of our mātua awhi, whose mahi allowed us more time to practice Mau Rākau.

Māra ki te Tēpu

Today Whānau Koromiko and some tuākana from Whānau Harakeke had their first session of Māra ki te Tēpu. We made garlic and herb bread, and we planted garlic for the garden. Tēnā kōrua Whaea Moana ko Matua Rob mō tā kōrua awhina mai i tēnei rā.

Manaakitanga

We had to show our aronga o te wiki Manaakitanga in Pic Collage. 

We had to show what manaakitanga looks like, sounds like, feels like and who was in our rōpū.
