My pepeha

Tena Koutou Katoa
Ko Vaea te maunga.
Ko moana a kiwa te moana.
Ko te puku o mama  te waka.
Ko lva ma Sali lua te iwi.
Ko Le pua te Marae.
Ko Phoenix tōku ingoa.

Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa

    I'm Daniel from the Kootuitui Summer Learning Journey team and I'm excited to start commenting on your blog posts this week and over the summer.

    It’s really cool to see your pepeha and a great way to learn more about you and your roots. I hope you carry on exploring your roots and ask your family members to tell you more about it. This is my Pepeha

    Ko Endeavour te Waka
    The Endeavour is my canoe
    Ko Kohukohunui te maunga
    Kohukohunui is my mountain
    Ko manukau a hotunui te moana
    Manukau harbour is my water
    Ko First Church Papakura te hāhi
    First Church Papakura is my church
    Ko Baty, Ko Pakeha nga hapu
    Baty is my family and I am Pakeha
    Ko Ingarihi, Ko Nowei nga iwi
    My ancestors are english and scandinavian in origin
    Ko Daniel taku ingoa
    My name is Daniel
    Kei Papakura taku kainga
    And Papakura is my home

    I’m looking forward to seeing more awesome work like this from you this week and throughout the holidays. Remember that week 1 of the SLJ program starts on the 16th of December to start earning those points.

    Daniel

    P.S. I really like your 'Where's Wally' costume
