Marae Noho Ekaranui Rocks!

We had such a great time at the marae noho learning about our tukutuku panels that we will make over the next two terms. It was also a chance to have some fun. We sang lots of waiata, practised with our tukutuku boards, ate ice cream and pop corn. Later, we watched Ant Man in our fabulous class room. We even went swimming at the Manurewa Aquatic Centre. Big Thanks to all our great helpers that came in to support! Ngā mihi nui!

Candy Kingdom

Long time ago there was a boy name Izayah he went walking and found Candy Kingdom. Izayah had powers his powers were ice, water and heat. He travelled to the Candy Kingdom because he had to save the princess name Juanita. So they can live happily ever after.

The next day they went to then Candy Kingdom to meet the minions; Chloe, Isaiah, and Serenity.  The minions took King Izayah and Queen Juanita to meet with king Keelan and queen Makaila of the chocolate kingdom.   They spoke about the taniwha Jahvan that lived between the two kningdoms who keeps eating their crops. 

I know said King Izayah we will ask the Black Warrior Teretahi if he would banish the taniwha Jahvan .  The Black Warrior agreed.  But sadly the Black Warrior Teretahi lost the battle.  And that is why to this day you can hear the taniwha Jahvan singing “why you gotta be so rude (by magic)? Don't you know I'm human too?”

Ka korero ratou e pā ana ki te taniwha Jahvan i noho ki waenganui o nga rangatiratanga e rua e pupuri kai ratou hua.

Na ko te aha ki tenei ra taea rongo ki a koutou i te taniwha Jahvan waiata "he aha koe gotta kia pera tangata ware (i te makutu)? Mahi kahore koutou e mohio ahau te tangata rawa? "

Fairy World

Once  upon  a  time  there   were  two  sides  of  fairy  world.  There was a side of goodness and a Dark Forest.  There were two princesses.  Their names  were  Taylor  and  Juanita  and  a  king  who’s  name was Jahvan.  Juanita  wanted  a  boy  to  dance  with  and  Taylor  also  wanted  a  boy  to  dance    with.  Boys name was J.T. and Reid.  Taylor was not happy so she went to the Dark Forest.  She didn’t know where the Dark Forest was.  She didn’t know that she was already in the Dark Forest.  She didn’t know she was in the fairy world. 

In the fairy world were crystals, little fairy people and elves.  Taylor found some monsters that lived in the Dark Forest they were scary things.  Taylor found Reid in the fairy world and they wanted to get married, but they needed a ring.  Taylor saw an Ekara in the dark forest.  Ekaranui had a golden ring around his foot.  The Ekara gave the ring to Taylor for her wedding.  The Ekaranui became Taylor’s protector and of her and her fairy world kingdom.  Everyone  knows  the  power  of  Ekaranui  so  the  dark  forest  was  feared  by all  the  naughty kids of room 21.  Taylor and Reid ruled the dark forest and the fairy world for many, many years.  They lived happily ever after with their 22 children.  King Jahvan died a very poor and lonely man because Queen Juanita married Helaman the rubbish collector from Manurewa.

Te Mutunga.

Term 1 Noho Marae

Nau Ekara Nui 2015

Nau mai haere mai ki te blog o Ekaranui 2015…

  

Whoa! It’s week 7 already and the time has flown. Last week (Thursday 6/03/2015) Room 21 had the pleasure of undertaking an awesome noho marae experience onsite at the Clendon Park Wharenui with Room 25, Ma Cynthia’s class.

The noho marae experience was well organised, implemented, monitored and we successfully achieved our goals well beyond out expectations. Indeed the whakatauki “Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini” is an apt description of the wonderful support that our two classes were afforded during the two day programme. 



Kai pai Whaea Rachael raua ko Whaea Oronsay mo to maanaki o ta matou tamariki.

From Whaea Rachael Panui who so kindly cooked an amazing dinner for 45 plus people to Matua Tuiono who unselfishly donated his time and knowledge. Many of the rangatahi gained huge benefit from Matua Tuiono’s wananga about the history of Manurewa and in particular the three maunga that whakapapa to Manurewa and the ancestors who shaped the landscape that we have come to know as Manurewa. Then, there is the tohunga o kapa haka Matua Richard Mai’ava who continuously raises the bar when it comes to inspiring and motivating our young rangatahi. Matua Richard once again took our young rangatahi to another level with his knowledge and wisdom of mau rakau. Nga mihi maioha ki a koe e te rangatira tuturu. Our noho marae had always been on the front foot from the early planning stages. Whaea Oronsay agreed to support our programme and Ma Cynthia had planned everything to perfection, her leadership and charisma paved the way for a very successful noho marae experience. A special mihi goes out to Whaea Joy and her family for providing pivotal support, manaaki and tiaki of our students during our programme.



You Rox Matua Richard!

We had truckloads of support and we would like to acknowledge parents, families and friends for that support. Without that support our noho marae experience would have been very different. We also acknowledge Mrs Sue Dawson (principal), Matua Dudley Adams (deputy principal) and the SMT for their input and support of our programme.

The biggest mihi would have to go to our tamariki who were exemplary on the night. Their attitude, participation and respect for the programme was at another level. Ngā mihi aroha ki a koutou ngā taitamariki ma.

Our programme culminated with a swim in the Clendon Park School's 5 star swimming pool and a shared barbeque lunch. Ka nui te korero!

Na Matua Dereck raua ko Ma Cynthia

E pā ana ki Ekara Nui 2015 – Akomanga 21

Akomanga 21 is a cocktail of untapped potential waiting for their moment to shine.  Bursting at the seams their energy is boundless and uncoordinated their thirst for knowledge is personified in their pukana.

Na reira, No mai haere mai ki te akomanga 21 hoki e mohiotia ana ko Ekara Nui 2015.

We are a cohort of Māori and Cook Island Māori students aged between 8 and 10 years who are seeking simple answers to complex questions about the world we live in.  Predominantly of the northern tribal affiliation with a spatter of Tanui, Tuwharetoa and Ngāti Kahungungu persuasion we bring to the learning table, respect, trust and a positive attitude towards learning and in return our expectations are simple we would like to receive the best learning tools and instructions practicable.

Ko tou rourou, ko taku rourou… ka ora ai i te Iwi.

We are on board with the ideology of cultural capital as were are very proud of our culture and who we are. Our tupuna have set their expectations for us in their kupu, waiata and purakau.

Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me maunga teitei

In addition we bring a few challenges which we will target this year as a high level priority.  Little things such as behavioural choices, staying on task, incorrect uniform, lateness to class and absenteeism to name a few.    

This will be a watershed year for the majority of us and we look forward to the many challenges that may present itself on our learning journey and the positive attitude that we will take in facing these challenges. 

Whai ake te ara tika mo ake
