Purea nei e te hau

Purea nei e te hau

Horoia e te ua

Whitiwhitia e te rā

Mahea ake ngā poraruraru

Makere ana ngā here.

Scattered by the wind

washed by the rain

and transformed by the sun,

all doubts are swept away

and all restrains are cast down.

E rere wairua, e rere

Ki ngā ao o te rangi

Whitiwhitia e te rā

Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru

Makere ana ngā here,

Makere ana ngā here.     

Fly O free spirit, fly

to the clouds in the heavens,

transformed by the sun,

with all doubts swept away

and all restrains cast down.

Yes, all restrains are cast down.

The story of our scarecrow/ tane whakamataku, Maui.

We were very excited about making our tane whakamataku/scarecrow. Our ideas for same came from a purakau/legend that Whaea Heneriata read to us, ko Maui me nga manu/ Maui and the birds. After slowing the Sun/Tama-nui-te-ra, Maui was very thirsty and asked two manu/birds if they could fetch wai maori/fresh water. However, they refused and Maui punished them. This, together with Maui's relationship with manu/birds i.e. turning himself into a kereru/wood pigeon, and the cause of his eventual death by the sound of a _______,  are reasons why we chose Maui as our scarecrow to represent our unique identity within Te Kura Matua o Mawhera / Grey Main School, being a  Maori/English bilingual class/whanau.

 If you can name which manu/bird caused Maui's death, come to room 2 immediately to tell us, and receive a tiakarete. There is only one so be quick!!!

Nga mihi ano hoki ki a Matua Emile korua ko Te Ora ma ta korua awhina : )
