Kia ora koutou te whānau ō Burnham,
Firstly I would like to congratulate our Kapa haka group, the tutors and all the
staff and parents who made our Cultural Festival Performance so wonderful. Our
tamariki performed with pride and passion and were a credit to Burnham School.
Here are some comments I have had emailed to me regarding their performance:
Just want to say what an amazing performance by your school at Cultural Festival. I was proud, not
only with the kids performance but the mahi Latoya and Biancha did too. Your children seem to excel
and rise up to another level when it comes to Maori performing arts, which was such a pleasure to

watch. Congratulations and we look forward to providing rakau training Term 4.

wow….amazing - yes you should all be very proud indeed!

Resource Teacher of Maori
Our Year 7 and 8 students have been competing at the Koru Games this week. A huge thanks to the
NZDF for providing a van for the duration of this event, and even a driver on Tuesday, and to Erica for
driving the van for us on Wednesday and Thursday. This was greatly appreciated, especially as Erica
did not have any of her own children participating in this event. Thanks also to the team of other
parents who kindly provided transport and some of whom stayed at the event managing teams.
We still have approximately 17 tickets left to attend Lucy Hone Resilience and Well-being. These
tickets are free. I have heard Lucy speak on a number of occasions and she is worth coming along
and listening to. If we have any left over tickets at school at 3.30pm on Monday then they will be
given to other schools who have already given away their quota.
Book Week has been fun-filled with students coming along to Bedtime Stories on Tuesday night. It
was well attended, especially by our junior students. Remember to come along and look at the
decorated classroom door competition, and to come along and watch the Story Book Parade on Friday.
This is when our children and staff dress up as a story book character. Thursday night will be busy in
many house across our community preparing for this event.
Kind regards, Sandra

Ranginui and Papatūānuku
Ranginui is the guardian of the sky and Papatūānuku is the guardian of
the ground. There is a story of them separating, it is called I te
tīmatanga. I can tell you some , but it will be in Māori. I te tīmatanga
Koia rāua ko Ranginui te matua Ko Papatūānuku te whaea. There were six
brothers born over night. Their names were Tū, Tāne, Tāwhirimatea,
Tangarou, Haumia and Rongomatāne. The boys were annoyed sitting in
the darkness. Tū said “lets kill our parents.” Tāwhiri said “no lets not
kill our parents.” Haumia said “I want to stay and sit like this.” Rongo
agreed. Tāne said “How about let’s separate them. Tane laid on his back
and stretched his legs up. His father flew up in the sky and light was
finally here. Tāne gave his father and mother something. He gave his
mother flowers, trees and more. He gave his father the moon, stars
and more. Everyone could do their jobs again. Whenever it rains it is
tears from Ranginui crying for his love.
