Tēnā koutou e te iwi. Ko Whaea Tiaira ahau. He kaiako au ki Te Kura Amorangi o Whakawātea, ki Kirikiriroa. 

Ko Whakapono te ingoa o tō mātou akomanga, he akomanga tau 8. E 13 ngā tamariki kei tēnei akomanga, ā, ko Te Reo Māori te reo e rangona i roto i ngā kiriata! E whakamahi ana ngā tamariki i ngā pukahiko, ā, kei ia tamaiti tōna ake pukahiko. Ko te kaupapa matua o a mātou akoranga e ono i tēnei tau ko te pānui.

Nō reira, nau mai, mātaki mai i ngā whetū o Whakapono! 

Kia ora and welcome. My name is Whaea Tiaira and I am excited to have you follow the stars of Whakapono! Whakapono is a class of 13 year 8 ākonga from Te Kura Amorangi o Whakawātea in Hamilton, NZ. Here we use 1:1 chromebooks, meaning each student has their own device, to support their individual learning. This year, we're focusing on reading and all episodes will be in Te Reo Māori! We hope you enjoy seeing what we're up to and encourage you to use, share, and comment. Nau mai, haere mai.
