Alot of critical thinking and reading whilst also trying to be active learning how to play netipolo (netball).

Wharekai & Mara

 We are so happy to be back in our wharekai & mara planting, harvesting, preparing and eating healthy kai. Lucky Yendarra to be supported by so many wonderful volunteers especially Mrs Powell who offers both her time and expertise for our benefit. 

The learning we have gained will support us through our life time and we hope to teach the skills we have learnt in our kitchen and garden to others we meet especially our families.

Yendarra goes Rock climbing & bush survival in Birkenhead

 

Our rangatira have gone rock climbing & bush survival in Birkenhead for being models of our vision to Kia pai taea tatou - Be the best they can in learning, attitude and behaviour this term.

We were thrilled to learn new technical vocabulary, experience the great outdoors, be physically challenged and demonstrate the value of whanaungatanga by working as a team.

The experience was one we know our rangatira will remember for a lifetime and we are so grateful to the team at the Birkenhead leisure centre for both sharing their manaakitanga (hospitality) & matauranga (knowledge) with us. As we were engaged, excited and exhausted from the exciting excursion.

Kūmara, Kūmara, Kūmara!
