Te Reo and Waka Fun Day
It was a beautiful day on 22 February for our tamariki and pakeke to get among the activities on the Waikouaiti awa. The main themes of the day were waka and te reo Māori. We had many friends and whānau from near and far, many of them participating in waka activities for the first time. We had four waka rotations with the four-man and six- man waka ama, the stand-up paddleboards and the waka unua, Hauteruruku.
It was an eventful day for our tamariki getting to know more about water safety and also some new kupu Māori for things pertaining to waka. Me mihi ka tika ki ngā kaiwhakahaere, Tori, Brendon, Suzi, Alex, koutou ko Hori. Ngā mihi nui hoki ki ngā whānau i hikina te hoe, ā, i korite ngā hoe hoki. Me hoe tahi tātou ki ngā mea katoa. Nō reira tēnā koutou e te whānau, ki te hoe.
