Wacky Wednesday!

Mōrena

I have been busy at school cutting harakeke - what a big job! It will help them to grow healthy and strong. The parent and grandparent leaves protect the baby/child.



The harakeke (flax) plant represents the whānau (family) in Māori thought. The rito (shoot) is the child. It is protectively surrounded by the awhi rito (parents). The outside leaves represent the tūpuna (grandparents and ancestors).
