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.
