O te awa kairangi

E mihihi kia a koutou e x2

Ko Taku Awa Lyrics

E te iwi e, maranga ake

He tino pouri, taku Awa e...

Kei mate taku Awa!

I te pamu kau, i te paruparu, i te kokiki e

Ngaro te tuna, ngaro te ika,

Ngaro te wahi kaukau ana hi!

Hei mate taku Awa!

kei ngaro te wairua o te tangata hi!!

Aotearoa Lyrics

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu

Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu

ko te moana pari mai koe

ko koe te awa i taku remu, ko tāua anō tāua

nō te one i Kurawaka,

hei tiaki i te whenua... nei

Aotearoa, he iwi kaha tātou,

he mana tuku iho mai anō

whenua haumako

wairua ora

whāia tō ara

ki te mutunga

Nō tawhiti, nō tata

nō te whenua o te Atua tātou

ahakoa nō hea mai koe

ka whawhai tonu mātou mōu        X2

Junior Tikanga Club in Action!

Junior Tikanga Club

Every Friday at junior kapa haka the tamariki have been very busy working with Matua Whaitiri.  He has taught us some great tikanga, waiata, and even a haka. The song he taught us is a special one he wrote about a cheeky fantail!

Each week he gives us a homework task, we need to chat to our whanau about different topics and then we get together and talk as a group the next week.

Photos- Listening to Matua help Logan with his mihi and the kids trying to use poi for the first time.
