Manaakitanga

 We have been talking a lot about manaakitanga in Kono. What this looks like, what this sounds like. In Kono the kōrero has been about being kind to others, some of the words we could use, some of the things we can do for each other to manaaki each other. We want everyone to feel welcome around us.

Some time ago we planted out some seedlings for vegetables, tamariki each took home a vegetable at the end of last term. Over the break the cauliflowers we planted became ready.

After karakia one morning this week Kono had a kōrero about showing kindness to others. We had some cauliflowers... who could we give them too? We thought about the people around us that care for us every day. Kono decided to gift the cauliflowers to Whaea Marise, Whaea Ursula and Whaea Gemma. These wonderful woman make all of our days better. He mihi mutunga kore ki a koutou!
