Rerenga Kupu o te wiki
Lost Watch
Rae from Room 7 has lost her watch. Possibly left on the field. It is a gold chain with Mickey Mouse on the the watch face. Please bring to Room 7 if found. Thanks
The phrase this week is:
Ko Whiringa-ā-nuku te marama tekau o te tau.
October is the tenth month of the year. In the Māori maramataka, Whiringa-ā-nuku is the 5th month of the year. Whiringa refers to a plait on a garment, and nuku means earth. Together they refer to Spring growth.

This is the 50th anniversary of Māori language week. The focus this year is "Ake, ake, ake - a forever language'.
To celebrate this year, we have 2 competitions for tamariki and kaiako/kaiāwhina.

Answer this question in a full sentence:
