This is our presentation about our Rimu Party. It tells you about who the Ministers are and what we promise you.

This is a paragraph of a story we read. We had to translate the paragraph that was Maori into English.

Te Tino Potae o Papa


Page 10:

Maori:
Ka kōrero a Mere,” Titiro atu, e Mā. Kei te whakaatu
Ngā tamariki i ō rātou kākahu ināianei.”
Ka kī a Māmā, “ Te pai hoki o ngā kākahu. Arā, titiro!
He kau miraka tērā, he mango tērā. Mīharo ana te
Kite atu.”

Translated in English:
Mere says, "Look, sir. It is displayed
Children are dressed in their clothes right now. "
Mom said, "It's nice to dress too. Well, look!
It's milk, that's the same mango. It's amazing
See it. "

WALT: find out how we can become the best competitor in our Cross country race.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTS BETWEEN A TANGI HANGA AND A KAWEMATE?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
By Keila

Questions:
(Tangi hanga)

Google Meaning: The Tangihanga is the enduring of Māori ceremony for mourning someone who has died. It is commonly called a tangi, which also means to weep, and to sing a dirge (a lament for the dead).

My Understanding: My understanding of Tangi hanga is to mourn or cry for the death of a loved one.
(Kawemate)

Google Meaning: Mourning ceremony at another marae subsequent to the tangihanga and burial - relatives of the deceased, especially someone of importance, visit as a group the marae of communities. The kawemate is often at the community's request.

My Understanding: My Understanding of kawemate is the non- burial part of the tangi.
Why?
Moemoe… betrothal ceremony  
To bring a photo of Whaea Dawnette to the school.
When?
On a Saturday night  19/8/2017, and the whole school went to the Marae on Monday 21/8/2017.
Monday 4/9/2017 at 8.30am.
How?
I felt sad.
I felt sad as well, but it was my first time at a Kawe mate so I didn’t really know what it meant.1
`
In Awarua laying at Te Huruhi Marae.
In the Tautoro School library.
What?
The difference was that when you're at the Marae we get welcomed in which is the calling of the people/Manuhiri.
And when Whaea Dawnettes family came to our school they  got welcomed into the school and they also say a different karanga.
