Māori

We welcome the day by saying our karakia.

Karakia o te Ruru

E rere te ruru

Hei kaitiaki

Hei tūtei

Ka tau te riri  i te pō

Ka paki te atatū 

Kia pai ake ai te rā!

Tihei mauri ora

The owl flies

A guardian

A sentinel

Calming the anger in the darkness

The morning will be fine

So the day will be a fabulous one!

This is the essence of life

We are learning to speak Te Reo Māori.
