MrWoody said...

that girl is doing very well in her school work. hopefully she will maintain high standards of behaviour with her classmates also and continue to perform acts of service to the school.

P.S.Can we do more weeding?

AWesome weeding efforts the other day! Me and Mudpies are at my house, and are looking at the blog!!!

In my maori dictonary, 'first' in english is translated into three:
tuatahi, wawe, matua.
'Learn' is ako, 'to' is ki, kia, and 'serve' is manaaki, aro atu ki.
Hoped that helped! We could choose which ones suite our motto the most, and go with that.

MrWoody said...

very good NM - the school has a slightly different version of it. you will find it written in different places around the school.
