NOAH

We learn about Noah from the Paipera Tapu!

The Paipera Tapu is the Word of Ihowā, and Ihowā wants us to obey His Word.

Noah lived in a time when iwi did not obey the Word of Ihowā. They did what they wanted, and they did not care what Ihowā thought about them.

Noah was the one tāne who obeyed Ihowā. He aroha Ihowā, and He did what Ihowā asked him to do.

Ihowā decided he wanted to start over by flooding the ao. Ihowā wanted to save Noah and his whānau, so He asked Noah to build an ark, a giant waka that would save him and his whānau.

Noah had never built an ark before, but he trusted Ihowā and did exactly what Ihowā asked.

Because Noah trusted Ihowā, his whānau was saved.

Ihowā has a plan for you. He wants you to listen to His Word, the Paipera Tapu, and He wants you to trust and obey Him.

Noah’s life teaches us we can trust and obey Ihowā because Ihowā has got a good plan for us.

SIMON SAYS...

Test your ability to obey by playing a game of ‘Simon Says’ with your whānau. See who can stay in the longest. Who is the best at listening and obeying Simon?

OH NO!

Ihowā saw that all the iwi on the earth were acting kino, so he decided to send a flood that would wipe out evil.

The waters dried up completely and Ihowā made a aniwaniwa in the sky to remind everyone of His promise.

There was one good tāne on earth. His name was Noah and Ihowā trusted him.

Ihowā told Noah the flood was coming and to build a really big waka, called an ark.

The waters flooded the earth. Noah, his whānau and the kararehe were safe in the ark.

The rain began to fall. It kept falling for forty days and nights.

Our sentences are all mixed up! Can you help put them in order by writing the correct sentence under the picture? 1 5 4 6

After Noah had built the ark, Ihowā told him to put rua of every kararehe in it.

The waters started to dry up. Noah sent out a dove. The dove returned with a leaf in its beak.

WALKING WATER SCIENCE ACTIVITY

Aniwaniwa Fact #2

A aniwaniwa is light! Just like Ihu! Ihu is our light.

TOP TIP:

Try to use the same amount of food colouring in each cup.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Whitu small plastic cups or glasses

Paper towels

Food colouring in primary colours

Water

WHAT TO DO:

• Place whitu cups in a row and pour water in cups tahi, toru, rima and whitu. The fuller the cup is, the better.

• Add rima drops of whero food colouring to cup tahi and cup whitu.

• Add rima drops of kōwhai food colouring to cup toru.

• Add rima drops of kahurangi food colouring to cup rima.

• Take a half sheet of paper towel and fold it in half lengthwise and in half again lengthwise.

• Trim off some of the length so that there isn’t too much excess paper towel that will stick up in the air between each cup. This will make the water walk more quickly.

• Place one half of a rolled paper towel in cup tahi and place the other half in the cup next to it. Then another paper towel from cup rua and into cup toru. This continues until you have placed the last paper towel that drapes over from cup ono to cup whitu.

• Watch what starts happening. You should quickly be able to see the colored water begin to walk up the paper towel.

PROMISE OF IHOWĀ

Did you know that an Aniwaniwa is a Promise? And did you know The Paipera Tapu begins with a aniwaniwa and ends with an aniwaniwa? In the Book of Kenehi it says: “The Aniwaniwa of the Promise of Ihowā shines across the world.” And in the Book of Whakakitenga it says “The Emerald Aniwaniwa shines around the Throne of Ihowā in heaven.”

A very long time ago, when we read about the pūrākau of Noah after the water dried up, Noah build an altar and worshiped Ihowā, and Ihowā spoke to Noah and his sons. Ihowā promised that the earth and everything living on it would never again be destroyed by a flood.

We see Noah’s pūrākau as evidence of the grace and goodness of Ihowā who makes good promises. And Ihowā gave us something to remind us of that promise: An aniwaniwa!

An aniwaniwa is an arch of light with a wide range of colours. It is caused by drops of water falling through the air. Ihowā said every time we see an aniwaniwa it would remind us of His promise never to flood the whole world again and remind us of His aroha for us.

Kotiro

Reminds us that Ihowā created the earth and trees. Like the grass in spring, it represents the new life we have in Ihu Karaiti.

Kakariki - -

Represents the colour of water. Ihowā created the oceans & seas, this reminds us of the baptism that identifies us with Ihu Karaiti.

Aniwaniwa

Poihau

Is coming from death into life through Ihu Karaiti.

Karaka Kowhai -

Is for the perfect light of Ihowā, the ra so bright.

Did you know the colours have meaning?

Kahurangi

Waiporoporo & Puru

Whero

Represents the blood Ihu Karaiti shed for us.

Is for Ihu Karaiti hours of sorrow, so we can gain the crown of life.

Tama

Once upon a time, a pig and a puppy lived on a farm. The pig was big, round and the leader of all the other farm folk, while Pup was small and gentle and only friends with the farmer. Pup, in his usual kind way, went to see Pig.

THE PIG AND THE PUP

By Taylor Foster

“Hello, Pig,” he said from over the fence.

Pig tossed a lazy glance toward the young soul. If truth be told, Pig didn’t like how different Pup was. Everyone else tried to be like Pig and do all the things he did. All except Pup. Pig wanted to change this and make Pup become just like him.

“Hello, Pup,” Pig bellowed. “I heard you haven’t rolled in the mud. Is that true?”

Pup’s brow furrowed. “No, I don’t think I have.”

“Oh. Everyone here has done it. Everyone.” His voice grew deeper. “Once they do it, they fit in. I do it all the time and everyone likes me.”

Pup looked at the mud in Pig’s pen. A lump rose in his throat and the world seemed to spin. Pig preyed on Pup’s confusion.

“Everyone’s been talking about it behind your back. They all said,‘Pup hasn’t done the mud roll so we can’t accept him.’”

Pup’s heart was racing. He’d never faced such a choice. Farmer had said to him, very specifically, “Do not roll in the mud, Pup. It’s not good for you.” But Pig was saying it was the only way to fit in at the farm – and he did feel on the

“Well, what do you say Pup?

Come on in!” Pig yelled heartily.

Pup’s eyes glanced all around. He could simply cross and roll, and Farmer wouldn’t know. His heartbeat faster and faster and his little paws began to sweat. He could see Farmer’s face in his mind, his caring eyes, trusting him.

“No… no, I’m not going to roll,” he stammered. “It’s wrong. Farmer said not to and… and I will listen to him because he knows best.”

Pig’s face turned into a scowl. “You stupid dog! Always following the farmer. You’ll never fit in here.”

Pup ran away from Pig and realised that though he would not fit in with the crowd of the farm, and certainly not with Pig, he would fit in with the one who mattered most – his Farmer.

WAS THERE REALLY ROOM FOR ALL THOSE KARAREHE?

FUN FACT:

Noah lived for another 350 years after the flood and died at the age of 950 years old.

Consider this: Noah’s ark was about the size of one and a half football fields or two Boeing 747s. It held about as much as 569 railroad stock cars. That’s NUI!

The ark Ihowa told Noah to build was 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. A cubit is the distance from a man’s elbow to the tip of his longest finger. (Today’s “standard cubit“ is 18 inches.)

Can you work out how big the ark was in feet?

NOAH’S SCAVENGER HUNT!

Aniwaniwa Fact #3

Aniwaniwa appear after mighty storms, when things look their worst. Just when the sky is darkest, out of heaven an aniwaniwa appears. Ihowa first sent the aniwaniwa to Noah, as a sign that His word is true.

-

Life can sometimes feel like a rollercoster but there is one who is always near in the ka pai times and the kino times! His name is Ihowa and you can be His hoa!

2. We have all disobeyed Ihowā. The Paipera Tapu calls this sin. Sin separates us from Ihowā and deserves punishment from Ihowā.

1. The Paipera Tapu tells us Ihowā created everything including you and me, and He is in charge of everything.

HOA OF IHOWĀ

3. Ihu Karaiti lived the perfect life, died on a ripeka for our sins and rose again. Because Ihu Karaiti gave up His life for us, we can be welcomed into the whānau of Ihowā for eternity. This is the best koha ever!

2 Koriniti 5:21

1 Pita 3:18

4. You can pray to Ihowā and tell Him you are sorry for your sins, thank Him for sending Ihu Karaiti for us and ask Ihu Karaiti to take charge of your life. Choose to live for Him and aroha Him with all your heart, soul and mind!
