Ko te Rāmere tēnei rā te 

rua tekau mā rua o Haratua

Friday 22nd May

Term 2 Week 5 2026

Purea Nei is a gentle and reflective waiata often used for healing and clearing emotional burdens. It speaks about releasing pain, sorrow, and negativity, allowing us to be carried away and transformed. 

Singing this waiata helps create a sense of renewal and lightness, supporting people to feel uplifted, comforted, and ready to move forward with a clearer mind and spirit.

He rōreka koutou - You all have sweet voices

Use this kīwaha to compliment people you hear singing their hearts out.

Kaua e wareware:

• People waiting on the court after school, please do not touch the PE gear left outside the PE shed. This is not for you to play with - it is waiting to be put away.
• Term 2 and 3 - Please stay off the field before school to give it a chance to dry out and avoid mud and grass through the classrooms.
• Please don't pick flowers or shake trees to get flowers down. Let's leave them alone to look beautiful and provide food for the bees.

Thousands of previously unknown species have been discovered lurking and thriving in our oceans, as part of a scientific effort to catalogue and discover 100,000 new species.

While the collected eyes of humanity were fixed on Artemis II's journey to the stars in early April, scientists at The Ocean Census were focused on what lay beneath the waves.

2025 to 2026 was a bumper year for the organisation, with 1,121 marine species discovered including a ghost shark and the "life in a glass castle" symbiotic worm living on a submarine volcano and named for the intricate chambers of a glass sponge within which it makes its home. 

Pictured above is a newly discovered carnivorous tree sponge that hooks unsuspecting crustaceans drifting in the current before slowly devouring its prey.

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
