Te Mauri O Te Wai
Water has mauri, a vitality or essence that supports life. The actions we each take can enhance mauri, or they can diminish mauri. The mauri of water affects the mauri of people. It is about the health of water. It is also about the deep connections between water, the environment and people.

Wahanga 3 - term 3
We had a fabulous start to the term, however, midway through we saw the return of Lockdown. This allowed us to look inwards at ourselves and the possibilities of survival skills being of importance to us during this lockdown period. So what better way to extend our learning by creating the ideal "Waimata Warrior"
WAHANGA 2 - TERM 2
As a continuation from Wahanga 1 we are using the first 4 weeks of Term 2 to complete the following mahi of Ngā Āhuatanga.
WAHANGA 1 - Term 1

Waihi Beach.
It has white sand. It sometimes has very cold salty water. It is a whole lot of fun. I sit on the sand and play. I was scared of the water but I still hopped in. I like the beach. By Kahli. |

Te REo Maori me ona tikanga
Here at Waimata School Te Ao Maori is incorporated into our everyday learning. We recite karakia, waiata, and tikanga practises daily in the hopes that all our tauira leave here confident to walk in both languages of our country.
