Ko Orari te awa
Ko Jed Ahau
We have been creating a discussion with all the children about our mihi we say every morning when we come together at kotahitanga. We posed the question,
"What is the name of your mountain that is close to you, where you live, or where you come from?"
The children were quiet and didn't quite know how to answer or contribute what they were thinking. We named the Four Peaks, Mt Peel, and Blue Mountain. Jed recognised the names and wanted to say a mountain but decided to go home and check with Mum and Dad.
We are exploring other mountains and rivers that you and your children are associated with or where you come from. We would love to know if you and your children associate with different mountains and rivers so that we can get more specific with our childrens Mihi.
