Taha Wairua

Taha Wairua

This morning Mrs Tele'a asked us a question for Taha wairua, Why do we do the Mihi, Karakia and Himene every morning?. 

These were the answer's my group made.

• We do it because it strengthen our spirit and well being 
• It connect's to Jesus and God 
• To build our confidence to speak up and represent yourself and whanau.
• To get ready for the day as well as our future.
• To know where we came from.
• connect with our ancestors and family 

Taha Wairua; spiritual willbeing

Today for our story on yer whare taha wha we are looking at Taha Wairua.

This is to do with our spiritual wellbeing. what we believe in. There are many ways people show Taha Wairua. We talked about this and came up with this list:
1. People pray in public and in private
2. Some people dress a certain way ti show their spiritual well being - what believe in
3. Read and live by a certain set of guidelines: Bible, Quran etc
4. Signs or symbols made with their hands, in jewellery, clothing etc
What other ways can you think of ?

Today our activity was to create are a card to bless another person from our bubble, to make their spiritual Taha 'Wairua' stronger.

Continuing from that here is my card I made for my mother to lift her taha wairua up and to make her happy ;
