He Karakia Mō Ngā Kai

He Karakia Mō Ngā Kai

E te Atua

Whakapainga ēnei kai
Hei oranga mō ō matou tinana
Whangaia hoki ō matou wairua 

ki te taro o te ora
Ko Ihu Karaiti hoki to matou Ariki
 

Amine

Lord
Bless this food
To strengthen our bodies
To replenish our spirits
And revitalise
In the name of Christ our Lord

Amen

He Waiata Hou!!!!

Tēnei Tāku Poi

Tēnei tāku poi porotiti titaha
Ka kawea purakau ki ngā iwi o te motu
Whakarongo ki te patu
Ki te kupu kōrero o tāku manu poi e

Nō Hine-titama, no Hine-ahu-one
Nō Rānginui me Pāpā e
Nō Hemo-te-rangi, nō Tahu Pōtiki
Tāku manu kōrero

Ka whakaeke marae, whakaeke paepae
Taku manu kōrero
Tēnei taku manu tukutuku
Tēnei taku manu poi e


Tēnei taku poi porotiti titaha
Ka kawea purakau ki ngā iwi o te motu
Whakarongo ki te patu
Ki te kupu kōrero o taku manu poi e

Nō Hine-titama, nō Hine-ahu-one
Nō Ranginui me Pāpā e
Nō Hemo-te-rangi, nō Tahu Pōtiki
Tāku manu kōrero

Ka whakaeke marae, whakaeke paepae
Tāku manu kōrero
Tēnei tāku manu tukutuku
Tēnei tāku manu poi e 


Thank you to Matua Jahmaine and Whāea Mahia for this video
to assist us with our learning of our new waiata.


ThaKa kawea purakau ki nga i

Mihi Whakatau

Kia ora koutou,

A great welcome for our new Kapa Haka tutors: Jahmaine M Cummings and Mahia Brown.

Thank you so much to the many whānau who sent food in for the shared kai after the welcome.  Please remember all whānau are very welcome to come in for Kapa Haka rehearsals and anything else we maybe organising for your tamariki. 

We have begun our new waiata.  Below are the kupu for you to rehearse at your kāinga.

Toku Mauri

Toku mauri no tua whakarere
Toku ngakau hei tuku whakairo
Toku wairua no nga tipuna tuturu
Hei tu whakairo nei hei poupou mo te rangi
Tenei ahau

Ru ana te whenua hikohiko te uira
Mau ana ki te ha o toku tu
Kia kohikohi kai mo toku oranga
Kia kohikohi kai mo toku wairua
Aue te aroha ka rere
Aue te aroha ka rere

Tenei ahau he uri no nga tipuna
Aratakina i au kia puawai
Tenei ahau he uri no Aotearoa
Aratakina i au kia whakatau uuu…

This video covers the first two verses only

He Karakia Whakamutunga Hou - A New Closing Karakia

Here is our new closing karakia of which all classes will be learning this term.

Karakia Whakamutunga

E te kaihanga, tēnei te tuku whakawhetai ki a koe mō tēnei rā.
Ngā reo whakamoemiti mō ngā tini manaakitanga i tuku iho mai.

E te Atua, arahina mai mātou i a mātou e hoki ana ki ō mātou whānau.
Ka tuku atu i ēnei kupu whakamoemiti i runga i tō ingoa tapu.
Amine

Closing Prayer
Oh God, we thank you for this day.
We thank you for the many blessings you have given us.
Dear Lord, guide us so that we may arrive safely to our families.
We send these words of thanks in your name
Amen

NAU MAI HOKI MAI KI A KOUTOU!

Welcome back everyone!

We have an exciting year ahead and  hopefully with two new tutors to add to our roopu!  They come with the most amazing skills to share with you all and whānau if you would like to come along.  You would be most welcome.  Nau mai haere mai koutou!

Throughout the year we may need to organise extra rehearsals but you will be given lots of warning before that happens.  We are hoping to put in at least one group if not both into the Ngā Putangitangi competitions at the end of the year.  Preparations for this competition will require assistance from whānau so your tautoko(support) would be greatly appreciated when the time arises.

It was so lovely to see many of our students last Rāpare registering their names to join the two Kapa Haka ngā roopu nei tau.  Kia ora!

Rehearsals will be at the following times every Rāpare(unless you are advised otherwise):

1:30 - 2:15  Junior Kapa Haka 
2:15 - 3:00  Senior Kapa Haka 

Nā Whāea Neill, Whāea Sefo, Whāea Barbs and Matua Paora

Here are the names of the students for the Junior and Senior Kapa Haka Roopu this year:
