Want to learn a whakatauki? (Māori proverb)

This is a whakatauki/ waiata/ karakia that we have been learning here at GIS.

Tuhia ki te rangi
Tuhia ki te whenua
Tuhia ki te ngākau o ngā tangata
Ko te mea nui
ko te aroha
Tihei (wa) mauri ora.

Write it in the sky
Write in the land
Write it in the hearts of all people
For the greatest thing is love
Behold there is life.

If I get one hundred comments I'll upload a video of me singing the waiata.

Mean Māori Mean

Tēnā koutou whānau. It has been an awesome start to the week and I do have to say that the students have thoroughly enjoyed the learning in our Te Reo Māori classes. One day if you're not busy, pop on down to one of our classes. 

Check back in next week with photos and more updates.
