Nō Whakatāne me Tāmaki-Makaurau ahau. Kua neke tata mai nei mātou ko tōku whanau ki Te Kauwhata. Kotahi tā māua ko tōku hoa rangatira tamaiti anake, ko Matteis tōnā ingoa, ā, kotahi tōna tau! E hīkaka mārika ana au kia whakaako i a Manuka i te tau nei. Ko ngā tau 4 me te 5. Kia whakawhanake, kia whakakī te kete mātauranga me te māramatanga o te ao o ā koutou tamariki. Ko te tūmanako, ka puāwai ngā kākano o te akomanga nei, kia tū hei māhuri kaha.
Kia ora whānau, my name is Ariana and I’m from Whakatāne and Auckland. My family and I have recently moved to Te kauwhata. My husband and I have only one child, Matteis, and he is a 1 year old! I am really excited to be teaching Manuka this year. Years 4 and 5. To develop and to fill our tamariki with the knowledge and understandings of the world. And my hope is that they will blossom into proud, strong, independent individuals.
Mauri Ora!
