Newsletter - July

Masterton Intermediate School

Ngā kōrero o te tumuaki

E whakawhetai ana mō tēnei rangi

We give thanks for this day

Mō te rā, mō te ua

for the sun, for the rain

Hei whakaora i a tātou katoa

To nurture us all

I a tātou ngahere

our forests

I a tātou kararehe

our animals

I a tātou ngārara

our insects

Huihui mai tātou

We gather together

Ki te ako tahi

to learn as one

Kia tipu tahi

to grow as one

tātou tatou katoa

all together


Āmine

Amen



We have started this newsletter with the karakia that our ākonga will be learning and using over the ten weeks of term three. Tēnā koutou katoa ngā whānau o te kura takawaenga nei.
