He Māpuna te tamaiti

He Mapuna te Tamaiti

He mapuna te tamaiti
He wairua tona
He Mauri tona
Ko ta tatau mahi
He whakapakari I te tamaiti
A wairua, a hinengaro, a tinana hoki

This child is precious
It has spirit
It has life force
To support the child develop
spiritually, intellectually and physically

The Pikorua Tohu

Ko te Whāea
te Pou tokomanawa o te whānau,
e awhina ana i tana tamaiti
e tākai ana i tōna aroha ki tōna whānau

The Mother is the nucleus of the whānau, embracing her child and wrapping her aroha around her whānau.
