Tū mai e moko. Te whakaata o ō mātua. Te moko o ō tīpuna.

Stand strong, O moko. The reflection of your parents.

The blueprint of your ancestors.

This whakataukī guides the principles, the Kaupapa whakahaere, 

of our guiding curriculum Te Whāriki.

The principles are 

Whakamana- Empowerment

Kotahitanga-Holistic development

Whānau tangata- Family and community

Ngā hononga- Relationships

In this time of learning together at home, thank you for nurturing these principles with your tamariki. 

Thank you for sharing- here is a snapshot of whānau learning.

So good to see you all!

Can you find a Rimu tree?

We went on a Rimu tree hunt. The first tree we found had the wrong type of leaves - they were round not spiky - and the berries weren't red… Dad thought he'd found one, but I told him the tree wasn't right… We are pretty sure there is a Rimu tree just down the road from my Nana's house.

Play is your work- so busy and creative!
