Kia ora e te whānau,

Kua tae atu tātou ki te wiki whakamutunga o te kura mō tēnei wahanga, ā, he nui tonu ngā kaupapa whakamīharo kei mua i a tātou hei whakanui i a Te Wiki o te Reo Māori – Toitū te Reo!  Hei whakakapi i te wahanga nei, ka whakarite a Whaea Lucy i tētahi hākari hei whakanui i ngā mahi whakamīharo a te katoa i tēnei wahanga.

We’ve reached the final week of kura for this term and we’ve got some exciting kaupapa to look forward to as we also celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori – Toitū te Reo!   To end the term with a bang, Whāea Lucy will be putting on a hākari to celebrate everyone’s awesome mahi this term.
