He timotimo noa!

He timotimo noa!

Tēnā koutou ngā kaipānui o te wā,

Ko Hinematioro ahau. E noho ana ahau ki roto o te awa whāruarua o Te Awakairangi me tōku hoa rangatira. Waimarie tonu au te whiwhi i tōku māmā me ōku karanga tāina ki tōku taha. Ko tōku tama irāmutu tonu tēnei, ko Tamati Nohotima, te piringa ngākau o tōku ao, o tōku whare.

Kore rawa ahau i whai whakaaro ki te whakauru mai ki roto i tēnei tuhinga poto Te Papa Tupu, ēngari anō, kua waimarie. Ēhara ahau e kite i āhau hei kaituhi, ēngari anō he hoa pūmau, he kaihāpai i te whānau, he kaiwhāngai i te mokopuna mo te kaupapa o te kōhanga reo. Taihoa ake au ka kitea iho he kaituhi ahau. He akoranga e hāere ake nei.

He aha rā ngā kōrero hei blog atu kia koutou. Hei timotimo kōrero noa mo koutou ngā kaipānui. A tēnā…..:-

Tērā tētahi wahine, e rite nei ōna whatu kia hina marama. Ōna whatu kōrero i te pō, wē e hene, wē e hene! Ōna whatu kōrero i te awatea, ō e hene, ō e hene! Ko te tikanga o ēnei whatu, he riri te riri, he kohete te kohete, he aroha te aroha. Me tūpato tāua ki ēnei whatu kōrero a Hina Hene, kei ngauahia koe!

He maha ngā irāmutu a Hina Hene, ēngari anō tēnei tama ōna, hurihia tōna ao.

Whānau mai a tama Hikohiko, ka huri kē ngā whatu kōrero a Hina Hene. I te pō kua ngauwaiwai, i te awatea kua ngauwaiwai anō! Kua aha rā ēnei whatu kōrero a Hina Hene.

Kua waipuketia te ngākau whāngai a Hina Hene. Kua whiwhi irāmutu anō te whānau, kua whiwhi mokopuna anō a Kuia Pora. Kua tima hoki a Koro Ringawera ki te ao weherua.

Te tiini kope:

Ka tū te tāonga koakoa a pēpē tama Hikohiko. Ka mea ake a māmā Hina Hene, “kāti tēnā mahi, waihohia!”. Ka toro tonu, ka toro tonu ngā ringa pēpē a tama Hikohiko. Kotahi marama, rua marama, toru marama, ka pēnei tonu rāua. Ka kotahi mai te whānau ki te kāinga a tungāne Hewa. Ka titīnihia te kope a tama Hikohiko. Ka wepua anō te ringa pēpē e māmā. Aiiiii, kāti son, ka nui tēnā! Ka tere kōrero atu a tungāne Hewa, Eei, kaua e kōrero pēnā ki taku son. Waiho aia, koinā te mahi o tō tāua tama Hikohiko. Hoki ngā mahara kia Koro Ringawera. I a ia e tīni ana i taku kope, kei reira ahau e mahi ana i taku mahi, koia tēnā ka kii mai, “kua mutu tō mahi nē?” Me waku whatu teretere ki a ia, taiao!

Whakaaro iho a māmā Hina Hene ki ngā kōrero a tāna tungāne a Hewa. Ka herea ēnei kōrero ki te whānau katoa. Ia wā titīni kope, ka tīmataria te whakarongo ki a tama Hikohiko me tōna tāonga koakoa. Ka mutu te aukati i tana ringa torotoro. Ka tukuna aia te toro whakaaro. Kotahi tau, rua tau, toru tau, kua whā a tama Hikohiko ināianei. E kore rawa aia e whakamutu i te mahi i tōna mahi rangatira. He whakatūpato noa tā māmā Hina Hene kia tama Hikohiko, “ko ōu whatu teretere, waiho noa ki ngā whare a te whānau!

E ngā kaipānui, koinei noa i tēnei wā. Poto te kakau, teretere ngā whakaaro. Taihoa ake he kaupapa anō hei whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mā tātou. Ko te mea nui, e noho mahana ana koutou i tēnei marama mākū, tēnei wā makariri. Ko ngā manaakitanga o te runga rawa ki runga i a koutou katoa.

Tūawhikura!
