Te Pouahi Himene 1 27 July 2010

Hiemene
I think it's great learning a new himene because I can improve on my singing voice. It's also great because I have something new to learn. We sing it to help us be better people which means we'll have a better future. We also sing it to keep Te Reo Maori flowing.


Kia tau kia tatou katoa (ko)
Te atawhai a Ihu (ko)
Me te aroha o te Atua
Ki te whiwhinga
Kotahitanga
Ki te wairua tapu x2


Amine


The himene means to love and to live;

To stay and go;
Family;
Friendship;
The dawn of a new era;
To learn forever

WHAEA TRINA

We farewelled our Big Cheese, our Taniwha Whaea Trina.
Whaea has left us to work in Auckland and we know that she will spread her Osomeness up there.
We will really miss her, but will always love her.
Here are some of the things we think about her:
"You are the wisest and the coolest owl in the tree"
"Your smile is like the morning sun glimmering in the sky"
"Your hair is as red as flames in a fireplace"
"You are o for osome and as joyful as the colour yellow"
"You glow like a beacon of hope for us all"

Ka kite Whaea Trina, we love you xxxx
