He Māori Ahau - Manaiakalani Film Festival Movie 2015
PES_Tito_HeMāoriAhau from Team 5 PES on Vimeo.
I interviewed Māori students from different levels of our school. I asked them a number of questions, partly because I was curious to see what kids thought and whether being 'urban' Māori would be different from 'rural' Māori. I guess there are similarities and differences. So this movie was created with the intention of sharing the true voices of Māori kids right here and right now at Pt England School - October 2015.
What intrigued me the most was the question "Who is your Māori Hero?" A lot of our kids saw sports heroes who played for the All Blacks or NZ Kiwis who were of Pasifika descent, as their Māori Heroes. Some tamariki struggled to answer at all. So it made me think how important it is for our kids to be exposed to some of our great heroes such as Dame Whina Cooper, Sir Apirana Ngata,Hekenukumai (Hector) Busby, Hone Heke, Inia Te Wiata and Billy T James just to name a few.
Enjoy 'He Māori Ahau'

Para kore = Zero waste!
Room 27 and Room 16 were looking after Papatuanuku today.
'Kaitiakitanga o te Whenua'
E harikoa ana ahau i tāku ngakau mo ngā aroha me ngā awhi i roto i te kaupapa i te rā nei.
For Te Reo Maori today these 2 classes were keen to help keep Papatuanuku clean.
We split up into roopu Tahi, Rua, Toru, Wha, Rima
Each roopu was given a rubbish bag each. . .we filed out of class and swept across the field . . . down the park. . . around some corners filling our peke up with lunch wrappers, chip packets, straws, fruit peels and other interesting things.
We loved the way all these tamariki got stuck in and did their best to help keep Papatuanuku clean today by picking up rubbish where ever they could.
Too Much Tamariki ma!!
PARA KORE = ZERO WASTE
CHUCK IT IN THE BIN

Whanaungatanga @ PES
Every Friday afternoons we open our whare fono up for whānau to meet and 'korero'. We discuss our tamariki, our kura, our community and more.
It's an opportunity for whanaungatanga and to build positive relationships with our Māori whānau.
This week Whaea Denise came in to drop off the ataahua long poi for our kapa haka groups. She also showed our Mums how to make poi earrings. We are very blessed to have whaea come in and work with our whānau.
