20 o Haratua, 2013

This week a question was asked of our tamariki in Ngā Hau e Whā;

Why do you like being in Ngā Hau e Whā?

Here is what some of our tamariki said …

• ·      To learn in Te Reo Māori
• ·      We don’t learn in Pakehā (we live in a world of English so it is not taught)
• ·      Good behaviour ( Learn values – tīkanga, know the expectations)
• ·      Waiata – (through waiata we learn maths, health, literacy, science, social studies)
• ·      Marautanga – (We learn all curriculum areas)
• ·      Hākinakina – (through various sports we learn values and respect not just skills)
• ·      Kai tuari – shared kai / Manaaki / aroha / open door ā akomanga (Teachers want to celebrate our successes)
• ·      Kaiako / Kaiawhina – (Good relationships)
