Mihi
Takahī ki uta, takahī ki tai moana.
Tūhoe ki uta, Tūhoe ki tai, Tūhoe ki ngā kokoru o te motu tēnā koutou. Nau mai tātau ki Te Kura o Tāneatua kia purea koutou e te hau Okiwa o Te Urewera. Kia Tūhoe te ahua, kia Tūhoe te reo, kia Tūhoe te wairua, kia Tūhoe ngā mahi, kia paiheretia ki te matemateaōne, he kotahi a Tūhoe e kata te pō!
E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā karangatanga maha, tēnei te mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Nau mai, haere mai ki te akomana Te Uruuru Mātauranga mai ngā tauira o te tau 1 ki te tau 8. He ruma ako e hāpai ana i ngā kaupapa Māori, e tautoko ana i ngā tauira ki te kimi i ngā pūkenga me ngā akoranga.
Koinei ngā kaupapa ka mahia ia rā;
Ka tīmata i te Karakia Hāhī Ringatū, Pangarau, Numikara, Te Reo Rangatira, Hauora, Pūtaiao, Hangarau, Mahi Toi, Karakia mutunga. Ka hangai ēnei kaupapa ki Te Tāhūhū o te Mātauranga me Te Marau o Tūhoe me Te Marautanga o Aotearoa. Kei raro iho e whai ake nei, he paku kōrero me ētahi pikitia e hangai ana ki ngā Kaupapa.
Karakia
Ka tīmatahia ngā rā ako ki ngā karakia Hāhī Ringatū, kia mārama te tamaiti ki te noho whakaiti, whakaute i te wā karakia, ā, hei awhina i te akonga ki te noho whakakeke kia ū ai te wairua me te tukanga kei roto ia rātau mahi. Hei ana whakamua me te whakapau kaha i roto io rātau akomangā ia rā.
Church:
The school days begin with the Ringatū Church prayers, so that our tamariki understand the importance of humility and respect during prayer time. This calm, purposeful start to our day helps our tamariki remain focused so that their wairua and the process within their activities are aligned. This sets the tone for moving forward and giving 100% effort to their learning every day.
Pangarau
He āwhina nui tēnei te pāngarau mātauranga i ā rātou mahi o ia rā, pērā i te hanga whare, te whakatere waka i te au moana, me te mahi māra kai. He mea nui anō te mātauranga pāngarau kia eke ai rātou ki ngā taumata o ēnei mahi hou. I te takanga o te wā, kua whanake haere te mātauranga pāngarau puta noa i te ao, engari he āwhina nui tonu te pāngarau i roto i ngā whakanekeneke o tō tātou ao o ngā tau rua mano me tua atu. Ko tā te Pāngarau he tūhono i te ao Māori ki te ao Pāngarau, ā, ko te ākonga kei te pito mata o te ako e angitu ai mō tōna anamata. Ka whārikihia ngā tikanga pāngarau, ngā tukanga pāngarau e tū tangata ai, e tū Māori ai hoki te ākonga ki te ao whānui.
Maths:
Mathematics in our Rumaki is initally based on structured numeracy practices and delivered using a programme called numicon. This programme is very “hands on” and uses a wide range of manipulatives to help our tamariki build a solid foundation in all areas of mathematics. A critical part of our learning in mathematics is developing pangarau literacy. The Māori language has it’s own body of words to describe essential ideas in maths – and by learning the “language” of pangarau our tamariki are able to connect to Te Ao Māori and their every day lives such as building houses, navigating boats across the sea, and gardening. Mathematical methods and processes enable the student to stand out and engage as a Māori in the wider world and understanding the language of mathematics enables our learners to communicate effectively in this area.
Te Reo Rangatira
Ko Te Reo Rangatira te toi akonga i ngā pūkenga me ngā mātauranga e āhei ana te ākonga ki te whakapuaki i tōna katoa, ki te whakawhiti kōrero, ki te ako i ngā ahuatanga reo, arā, te rangaranga reo, ki te torotoro i ngā whakaaro, kia mārama ki te whakaniko i ana mahi kia angitu, kia whai hua ai ngā ākonga.
Te Reo Rangatira:
We use a structured literacy approach to Te Reo Rangatira. Our tamariki learn to read, write and speak confidently in te reo; to learn and master the aspects of language – including learning language structure, exploring ideas, expressing their own ideas and interpreting the ideas of other and understanding how to enhance their work to further their achievement. We use a wide range of strategies in our classrooms to develop language skills – listening, repetition, chanting, pictures, memorisation – as well as widely accepted structured literacy practices to understand words and sentence structures.
Hauora
Ko te whaitake o te ako i te Hauora, he whakatuwhera i ngā kuaha o te hauora ki te ākonga kia mātau ia ki te oranga tangata, oranga wairua, oranga hinengaro, oranga tinana, oranga ngākau, tae noa ki te oranga taiao. Ka whai wāhi te ākonga ki te whakaahua, ki te whakamārama, ki te whakamātau me te arotake i ngā āhuatanga huhua o te hauora. Ko te hauora tētahi kaupapa oranga i roto i te Te Kura o Taneatua, e kapi ana i ngā momo kaupapa e pa ana ki te hauora, arā te pā pōro, Tūhoe Swimming Sports, Netipōro, Fun4U, Tūhoe atheletic, Rippa, Whutupōro, Hahaupōro (Golf), me te maurākau. Nōreira koinei ētahi mahi ka whakamahia mo Te Kura o Tāneatua.
Health & Well Being:
The purpose of learning about Health is to open the doors of well-being for the student, enabling them to understand personal health, spiritual health, mental health, physical health, emotional health, and environmental health. Our tamariki have the opportunity to explore, explain, test, and evaluate the various aspects of health. Health is a significant theme within Taneatua School and we engage in learning opportunities to explore areas such as diet and nutrition, hygiene, healthy environments and friendships. Our PE and sports programme encompasses a wide range of different activities related to movement such as rugby, aquatics, netball, athletics, Rippa rugby, touch rugby, golf, and martial arts. Our tamariki have numerous opportunities to participate in competitive and fun activities with other schools in our area.
Pūtaiao
Ka mātau te ākonga ki ngā pūkenga rangahau, ki te whakamātau, ki te tūhura, ki te whakaoti rapanga. Heoi anō, me mataara tonu te titiro ki ngā putanga mai o te pūtaiao. Ka pakari te ākonga ki te reo pūtaiao, ki te rongo ā-tinana, ā-wairua, ā-hinengaro. Me rongo tonu te whatumanawa ki ngā nawe o tōna ao, kia kitea ai ngā huarahi hei whakatikatika.
Ka ako ngā tauira ki te whakatipu kai mai te timatanga ki te mutunga, he whakarite i te māra, hei whakatipu i ngā momo hua whenua, me te aro atu ki ngā tikanga māori mo te māra. I te wā ka reri ana nga kai kua hauhake, kua rokiroki, kua penapena i ngā momo hua whenua. Kātahi ka hokona hei mahi moni mo te taha rūmaki māori, nōreira koinei ētahi o ngā mahi.
Science:
At Tāneatua School we encourage our tamariki to explore Te Ao Maori science concepts through an inquiry approach. Our learners acquire research skills, learn to experiment, explore, and solve problems. They develop proficiency in scientific language and scientific processes enabling them to identify ways to make improvements in the world around them.
In our latest project our tamariki are learning to cultivate food from start to finish, preparing gardens to grow various crops and focusing on Māori gardening practices. When the food is ready for harvest, it will be stored and preserved as different types of produce. The produce and products from our garden are sold as a fundraising initiative.
Hangarau
Mā te hangarau ka tū rangatira ngā ākonga. Hei whakahiato i ngā mōhiotanga hangarau, ka tīmata i te ao Māori me tōna hāngai ki te ao hurihuri. Me aro anō ki ngā uara, ngā pūkenga, me ngā mōhiotanga hangarau o te ao e taunga ana ia. Ka mōhio ki te tiaki whenua, ki te tiaki taiao, me te pāhekotanga i waenganui i te whakaharatau hangarau me te hapori. Ko te ira atua, ko te ira tangata e noho ngātahi nei te tangata me te whenua. Toitū te whenua, whatungarongaro te tangata. Toitū te whenua, toiora te tangata.
Technology:
When our tamariki engage in technology inquiries, we start from the Māori world view and explore its connection to the changing, contemporary world. Through their technological practices, our learners connect to the world of their ancestors, building on the values, skills, and technological knowledge and adapting technological solution to meet the needs of the modern world. They design, modify, prototype and test modern-day solutions based on learnings of the past. It is important for our tamariki to understand land care, environmental protection, and the relationship between technological practice and the community.
The spiritual essence, the human essence, coexists with the land. The land is everlasting, humanity is transient. The land is everlasting, life thrives.
Mahi Toi
I ngā akoranga Mahi Toi, ka ako ngā tauira i ngā Mahi ā Rehia, arā, te kapa haka. He ako hoki i ngā waiata Mōteatea, karanga, Whaikōrero, Haka, Puha, Manawawera, Tauparapara me te maurākau. Ka hangai hoki ēnei mahi ki ngā hītori, whakapapa o Tūhoe me te hononga o ngā kōrero ki iwi kē. He ako i te nako o te reo o Tūhoe, kia mānawa ki te ngakau o te tauira, kia puta te ngākau titikaha me te kanohi hōmiromiro o te ākonga.
Art:
We provide our tamariki many opportunities to engage with art, music, dance and drama – mostly in it’s traditional forms. Our students learn about performing arts, particularly kapa haka. They also learn traditional songs such as mōteatea, karanga, whaikōrero, haka, puha, manawawera, tauparapara, and maurākau. These practices are also connected to the history and genealogy of Tūhoe and the relationship of these stories to other iwi. Students learn the Tūhoe language, to resonate with the hearts of the students, and to bring forth their passion and unique perspectives. Our tamariki are encouraged to use visual art, music and drama to express their identity, thoughts and ideas.
