I tēnei wāhanga i a mātou te honore i tae mai a Whaea Charlene rāua ko Whaha Raukura mō ngā wiki e 5 ki tō tātou kura. Kei te awhi rāua i a mātou te whanau rūmaki mō te Kaupapa o tēnei wā, ā, ko Ngā Pumanawa e waru o Te Arawa terā. Ānei wētahi o ngā whakaahua o ruma 15 e ako ana ki tō Whaea Charlene taha.

This term we were privileged to have both Whaea Charlene and Whaea Raukura come into our Rumaki unit for 5 weeks. They have both helped us a lot with our kappa of the term, this being The eight beating hearts of Te Arawa. Following is a slideshow of room 15 learning the actions to a song with Whaea Charlene.

Koianei ngā kōtiro e ago ana i te poi hou mō te tūnga ki te Ahurei. Ko Whaea Charlene rāua ko Whaha Raukura ngā kaiako poi. He mīreirei katoa ngā kōtiro. Ākuanei ka tū rātou ki te atamira.  Taukē kōtiro mā!

Here are some of the photos of the girls learning the new poi for their stand at the Ahurei. Whaea Charlene and Whaea Raukura are the poi tutors. The girls are doing a stunning job learning the poi. Not long to go now and they will be on the stage performing in front of their whānau and friends. Well done girls!
