About Growing Tree Rākau Tupu
Ko Rākau Tupu he turanga kākahu i hoahoatia mō ngā tamariki. Ka taea te whakarōpū te teitei o Rākau Tupu mā tētahi hanganga koeko, nō reira ka noho whai hua tonu te turanga kākahu i a te tipu haere o ngā tamariki kia roa ake. Ko te whakaaro matua e whai ana i te āhua o ngā pihinga iti e tipu ana hei rākau teitei. Ko ngā āhua ahupūngao e hanga ana i ngā matau, ā, mā taua hanganga anō e taea ai te whakarerekē i ō rātou koki me ō rātou teitei. Ka hoatu e tētahi tūāpapa porowhita te tautoko me te pūmau. Ka whakawai ngā tae kanapa i ngā tamariki kia tārua i ō rātou kākahu, pōtae, me ngā pēke kura, mā rātou anō, kāore he āwhina e hiahiatia ana. He iti noa ngā rauemi ka whakamahia, ā, ka roa ake te wā e whai hua ai te turanga kākahu.
