Nga Pounamu Takaro

Yesterday you child will have bought home a notice for Nga Punamu Takaro.

We have been offered the opportunity for our classes to receive free te reo Māori, Tikanga and Traditional Māori games lessons. Each week the classes will get a 45 minutes session on these things.

Here is some information from the provider:


The programme would involve:

  • Weekly class time 45 minute learning session;
  • Using te reo, karakia, pepeha, whanaungatanga, waiata, haka, and mau rakau etc;
  • Basic nutrition resource will be delivered

The programme would be delivered by Hauora Hit.  We have been delivering Nga Pounamu Takaro programmes in Christchurch schools for a number of years, previously under Positive Directions Trust.  We have an established programme that teaches purakau and te reo Māori through the Maori Traditional games. Our programme provider is Tango.


We would appreciate the return of the permission forms as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Team 3
