He rangai maomao ka taka ki tua o Nukutaurua, e kore a muri e hokia.
“When a shoal of maomao fish has passed to seaward of Nukutaurua rock (off Mangonui harbour) it will never return.”
We are on a mission together, there is no turning back.

Welcome back to Term 3! I hope you have had a relaxing term break.
1. This term is te wiki o te reo Māori (14 - 20 September/ Mahuru). What will your goal be? Improving your pronunciation to impress your students when taking the roll? Adding more kupu reo (Māori words) into your daily life? (check out the 100 Te reo words that all NZers should know) Starting to differentiate the pronunciation from an iwi to the other?
If you would like some ideas as to where you could put your focus - check out https://www.tewikiotereomaori.co.nz/maori-language-week-ideas/
2. Agentic Engagement: If you are a follower of Educational Podcasts, the latest from Ollie Lovell touches on self-effacy, achievement vs mastery goals and something he calls the 'cycle of protection'. Some great food for thought around the perception from some students that if you change the focus to enable students to see that they "are not the only one who doesn't understand this", learning is more likely to happen.
