Week 2 - Term 3 - 2023

 He iti te mokoroa, nāna i kati te kahikatea 

The mokoroa (grub) may be small, but it cuts through the Kahikatea 

This whakatauki reflects that small things can have a great impact. It encourages us to think big. Although numbers or resources may be small, like the mokoroa, it is possible to achieve great tasks/achievements.

Information for Staff

1. Updates on Google Bard

a. You are now able to upload a picture and ask for information about it. Google Lens has been added to Bard to allow this to happen. So if you want more information about an image or to have a funny caption written you can have a little bit of help.

b. Once you have your answer, you are also able to get Bard to read the text aloud - so it is able read out the answers given. It was also able to tell me who created the image.

2. In the second half of the year our Kaiako will be learning our second karakia to use at briefings. We will go over it at staff meeting on Tuesday. 

Listen to the recording to help with your pronunciation.

Whakataka te hau

Whakataka te hau ki te uru Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Kia mākinakina ki uta Kia mātaratara ki tai E hī ake ana te atakura He tio, he huka, he hau hū Tīhei mauri ora!

Cease the winds from the west Cease the winds from the south Let the breeze blow over the land Let the breeze blow over the ocean Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air. A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.
