Kia ora everyone. This week we are celebrating Maori Language Week and I want to encourage everyone to get involved in the activities similar to last week when we celebrated Tongan Language Week. Once again I am setting a blogging challenge and prizes will be given out to those students who complete three blogs this week based on Maori Language Week activities. As with other language weeks, this week is held to promote our indigenous language and celebrate Maori culture. Everyone is encouraged to learn some te reo Maori and where possible experience the Maori culture. Lets see how creative we can be to do this in a Level 4 lockdown situation.
I do want to thank the students, parents, staff and community members who joined us in our special online assembly last Friday where we celebrated Tongan Language Week. At one time during the assembly we had 62 screens open, with people participating. I also know that some of those watching online had siblings and parents watching, so in reality we probably had approximately 80 people attend this online event. A huge thank you to those who actually participated and shared aspect of the Tongan Language Week to us all, plus a huge thank you to the students in the assembly team who put this together.
In closing, as a cancer survivor, I would like to thank Mrs Haioti for her support for the Cancer Society Daffodil Day. Mrs Haioti had the courage to have her hair shaved as a way of encouraging people to support this cause. If you would like to support her fundraising efforts please contact her via ghaioti@wesleyintermediate.school.nz
tēnā koa tiaki ia koe
me te atawhai
Mr Nigel Davis (tumuaki)
