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. "

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.

This is my letter to Matua Sam about Whaea Dawnette.

Dear Matua Sam,

I am so sad to hear about your loss of Whaea Dawnette.

I knew that she was ill and just returned out of hospital, but I didn’t realize she had so little time left.

Whaea Dawnette was such a fantastic Admin and I am going to miss her sitting in the office.

Whaea Dawnette was uplifting, kind and loving to everyone around her.

It is really heartbreaking not getting to see her everyday now.

Everytime I walk into the office I always picture her sitting in the office.

Keila Emile.
