PANUI - Mo Nga Matua/Whaea

Tena koutou katoa

Well its good to be back at kura, and also good to be back with the tamariki.  It seemed like a long time - and if we take into account the tangi prior - then yes - it was a long time.

I already have concerns in the way in which it has impacted on our class - and I wanted to write this to all our parents letting everyone know, that the next 2-3 days will be devoted to pulling in our class, and getting them back on the straight line.

I had two complaints lodged regarding the behaviour of Nga Mahuri when I was away, and I did not like what I heard.  Another complaint was delivered via our tumuaki for the lack of commitment to our reo, after spending a huge amount of time trying to swing this deficiency.  

There are some consistent and rude offenders of relief teachers in Nga Mahuri, and if I have to, I will name them to parents.  

Our major focus then over the next week will be to return to the room that was going very well before the tangi.

After weighing up our situation over the past few days I wish to confirm tonight that we will not be travelling Week 7.  It is vital for us to understand that the major focal point of our kura, is educational achievement.  I cannot justify a trip, when we have had a 'enforced gap' in learning.  As it is, we will now be tested to make sure we meet our outcomes as requested by our BOT.

The putea fundraised for this trip, will now be devoted to Term 3 or 4.  In saying this, we still have three/four students with monies still to be handed in.  CAN PARENTS PLEASE GET THE RAFFLE PUTEA BACK TO THE KURA.  I wish to draw this next week.

Our next few weeks will be based around curriculum for Matariki and Mahi Mara.  Also, we have the return of Papa Chris and Whaea Sandra - so we are all happy with this, and look forward to/if both our tutors wish to commit Nga Mahuri to the Regionals and Nationals.

Finally, a welcome back to Whaea Linda and the Whanau Kingi Waiaua - good to have you all back at kura.

Naku noa

RIP Louis King

Moumou tangata, moumou taonga ki te po e!

I rangona whanui te ao, i te kapua pouri, mamae hoki i whakairihia i runga i to matou kura i te wiki i mahue ake ra.

E maringiringi ana tonu te roimata o nga tamariki me te whanau whanui.

No reira e tama, haere oti atu ki a koe.  Haere koe he rangatira, i whakahikoia i te ara tapuwae.  Kia mau tonu mai te ara wairua, tae atu ki te Rerenga Wairua, kei reira kia rukuhia to wairua.  Kore to kura i warewarehia i a koe.

Ki a koutou te whanau o te Kingi Waiaua - ki o matou tauira - Ko Maringi, Merita, Roberta, Matiu, Rangiwewehi, Hinemihiata, Henare, Tane, Pene te hau - ki a koutou katoa - ki nga matua/whaea - Papa Ikanui, Whaea Donna, Papa Sam, Papa Ropi, Whaea Melissa, Ruruhi, Whaea Ruruhi - a ko te mutunga korero ki a koe e Whaea Linda - kei konei to kura e mokemoke ana, tae noa atu ki te wa ka hoki mai koe.

No matou

Te Akomanga o Nga Mahuri e noho pouri ana

Nau mai, Hoki mai - Wahanga Tuarua

Mauri ora ano koutou nga rangatira, nga matua, nga whaea, nga tamariki o Nga Mahuri

Aroha mai toku kore whakatuhia i nga tuhinga mo tenei pae tukutuku.  Katahi ano ka hokia mai au ki te ao o te kaiako!

I timata matou i tera wiki - ka hokia mai a Tumoana Waitai - no reira, he mihi nui ki a ia me tana hokinga mai ki waenganui i a matou.

Ko tenei te wiki tuarua - i tera wiki, i timata matou i to matou hurihangahia o te akomanga mo te Pangarau/Poutama Tau.  Ngakaunui nga tamariki ki tenei akoranga hou, no reira, kia kaha tonu.  I timata hoki te whakaharatau mo te NEW IMAGE RUGBY/NETBALL Tournament hei te 27 Haratua - he Raapa - Te wiki tuarima te tikanga.  I whakahono nga ruma e rua - Ko Te Wai Onepu me Nga Mahuri -  o ia ahiahi te parakitihi i te whutupaora me te poitarawhiti.  Tino pai nga whakapakaritanga o nga tamariki.

I tenei ra, ka timata hoki to matou haerenga ki Kaitaia.  I a rua Raapa, ka haere ki te kura takawaenga o Kaitaia, ki BETA BODY FITNESS, ki te teihana o nga pirihimana hoki mo te akoranga DARE.  Ahakoa pai tenei ra, he whakatupatohanga ki nga tamariki - kia tau ki to tatou mauri tau hei nga wa katoa, ahakoa i hea, kei hea ranei.

I kai matou te SUBWAY hoki! (ko nga tamariki e mauria i o ratou putea).

Koina mo tenei wa - a tera wiki ka whakapiki ake ki runga nga whakaahua.  

Ko te tumanako, kia mau mai koutou i o koutou panui (e toru nga wharangi!).  I tukuna ma our tamaiti/tamariki i te Rahina.  Kei reira nga panuihanga katoa e pa ana ki to tatou akomanga.

**  Kare he huinga mo nga matua apopo - a tera atu wiki - Rapare 14 Haratua 2009.

*** Kia kaha te hokia mai i nga rewhara putea mo te paika - tenei Ramere te wawata, kia mohio ko wai nga nama/tikiti/tatai i wikitoriahia.

Mauri ora rau rangatira ma

I tenei ra ka nuku matou ki te Kura Takawaenga o Kaitaia - te take ka whakamahi to matou rangi Hangarau te taha i a Whaea Monger raua ko Papa Benjamin.
