More people wanting to learn how
to speak maori

A  number of people are wanting to learn Maori te reo
and about the Maori culture even non-Maori people are wanting
to learn which
is really really good.

New Zealand's language status & prestige has risen
dramatically, research shows that that is one of the keys
indicators of if children and young people are interested
in taking Maori classes and are gonna commit to learning it.

Mr. Morrison praised the breakfast host Jack tame for also
been taking Maori classes for his championing and consistent
usage of te reo on the show, in front of a wide
audience.

He also said that the prime minister and government are also
embracing our Maori culture as prime minister Jacinda Ardern
gave her daughter Neve the middle name Te Aroha on the 21st
of July

Why don’t oil and water mix?

Why don’t oil and water mix?

Have you ever done the dishes, hit the pan and pots, started washing
them and noticed the oil from the pans or the fat on the roasting dish just
dancing on top of the water thth the bubbles like they are on dancing with the
stars or something? They dance and dance, but what the never actually do is
mix. Why is that?

Here  let me give the scientific fancy low down first:

“The oil along float to the top because it’s less dense than water, oil and water
don’t mix that to molecules are more attracted to each other than to molecules
.detergent molecule are attracted to both oil and water. Molecules of water are
strongly attracted to each other because they are poor”.

and-water

So for all of you that just went “Huh?” at what I just said let me break it down
for you:

• Oil is lighter than water
• When the pan reach the water, the oil melts the oil in the pan
• the oil melts into the water because water is heavier than oil, the oil then
• stays on the water having a good old dance while you doing the dishes

Hmm is this what it was like for jesus when he walked on water? Is this
why we use different oils in church? Does this mean that if I have those’s
oils on me I will walk on water like jesus did? I have so many questions to
ask that I need answers to.

why do stars twinkle?

Why do stars twinkle?

Have you ever seen a spy-fi movie. And  felt like you were lost in
space. With all the twinkling stars, the milky way the planets &
much more wonderful things. do you imagine about what it would
be like to live on another planet or if aliens are real?  Have you ever
wondered to yourself is there a planet out there better than
Earth is a planet more spectacular?

It’s so easy to let  your imagination run wild. T
o let it  just take control of your body when you look up at the stars.
Do you ever wonder how far away the stars really are?  
Did you ever think that the reason why the stars twinkle is because
there’s another life force trying to contract us Earthlings?

When you look for other planets and you see stars or
constellations and they flicker or twinkle do you ever stop
to think that it’s another planet trying to communicate with the
Earth? Or is it just your imagination your mind that’s playing
tricks on you and the stars aren't actually twinkling.

We’ll  don’t worry because it’s not your eyes just playing tricks.
The stars do look like their twinkling but  blame the Earth
for that or rather the atmosphere. The reasons to why scientists
said the stars twinkle is because of the astronomical scintillation.

Earth’s atmosphere is quiet turbulent at times.
As it reaches right into the sky. It varies in density and temperature.
To be able to see the stars the light from the distant stars must pass
through Earth’s ever changing atmosphere.

When light travels through the galaxy it reflects in different
directions constantly. And your eyes settle on a star in the sky then
seconds later it's no where near where it was before

So next time you think to yourself why stars twinkle you’ll know why

Limerick poem

Limerick poem

The Matariki stars shine, way up above.

it is the time of family love.

We make a big feast for people to eat.

Then we eat and we eat until we are beat.

The Matariki magic is marvelous like a dove  .

Ngati Kahu

Ngati kahu

ORIGINS

In 1990 a hui-a-Iwi was called to set up a body to be the Iwi authority for Ngati Kahu.
This body was to be a runanga and care had to be taken to ensure that it was set up
according to traditional Runanga criteria
and not government
legislative requirements. McCully Matiu played a pivotal role in the setting up of Te
Runanga-a-Iwi o Ngati Kahu.

PURPOSE

The Runanga would take responsibility for all government related matters such
as the claims against the Crown (involving both fisheries and land), social welfare
programmes, training and employment programmes, conservation and resource
management matters, health programmes, housing programmes, economic development
programmes and so on. The hui-a-Iwi passed a resolution to set up Te Runanga-a-Iwi o
Ngati Kahu with representation from every marae and hapu throughout Ngati Kahu. While it's
original constitution was drawn up using criteria laid down according to Ngati Kahu tikanga,
the runanga was eventually registered under the Charitable Trust Act.

More up to date information about the Runanga is available in the Private area.
