Join Matua Whaitiri in learning a new karakia for the beginning of our school days (from around 2mins in the video).
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 flow over the land
Let the breeze flow over the ocean
Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air
A touch of frost and a promise of a glorious day
