Wow!! Mr Wheeler was blown away by the power, effort and performance by the Middle Team after they performed "Ka Mate". He thought that is was absolutely fantastic and that he was really proud.

The other teachers who were present thought that it was really wonderful as well. So from Mr Lowe to you all "Ka mau te wehi nga tauira! He pai rawe o mahi!" Fantastic job everyone!
Well this term we want to go on and add to our 'kete'(basket) of goodies. So we will be learning a welcome waiata (song) called 'Haere mai'. Here are the words.
(Maori)
Haere mai, haere mai
E ngā iwi e haere mai
Ki runga o te marae
Hui mai tātou katoa
E hine mā, e tama mā
Hapainga to mana Māori e
Kia rewa runga rawa
I a ha hā
E ngā iwi e
Haere mai, haere mai.
E ngā iwi e haere mai
Ki runga o te marae
Hui mai tātou katoa
E hine mā, e tama mā
Hapainga to mana Māori e
Kia rewa runga rawa
I a ha hā
E ngā iwi e
Haere mai, haere mai.
