Today we learnt a whakatauki about how little thing can be powerful. Whaea Jas then had as say what that whakatauki ment to us. I thing that whakatauki means that little things such as baby sharks are so powerful that your scared to try new things. Things that you can forget about and take a leap be careful and know that they are there and that you cant get rid of them.

He iti hoki te mokoroa nāna i kakati te kahikatea
