kia ora,

At Te Wanawana, our local playcentre at Newtown, Wellington we learnt the waiata pepeha by Six60 that our local kura Newtown School and many of our tamaiki's older siblings have been learning. We adults also started our business meeting this week with karakia, and sang this waiata together. We have been proud to talk to the children about sense of identify, who they are and the origin of our centre, our centre Te Wanawana also has its own pepeha which we talked about together. It was a wonderful way to use te reo to join our voices and spirits together, to support each other.

Thank you from all of us (big and small) at Te Wanawana, Newtown Playcentre
