Our Incredible Te Reo Māori

This term in Te Ngahere we have been  learning how to read in Te Reo Māori. We are learning to use the correct pronunciation of Te Reo Māori by reading a  pukapuka (book) in Te Reo Māori called Ngā Mahi Pārekareka Kei Te Marae (Fun At The Marae ). After we learn how to read it by ourselves without any help we go and read it to the younger tamariki (children). We will also read the english version after the Te Reo Māori version.  We are doing this so we can learn more Te Reo Māori and learn how to speak Te Reo Māori. Do you know any Te Reo Māori words? Here is a LINK and photo of the title to the pukapuka (book).

Our Amazing Matariki Feathers

Last term on the last week of school we decorated Matariki feathers for Matariki. We had four choices and they were all different. When you were finished one you could do another one but I didn’t want to because I had already done the hardest one. We had to write our goals on the back and what we want to achieve.  It was really fun and it would be really fun to do again. I’m not a big fan of art but I still do it and this time I actually enjoyed it. We are making a korowai with the feathers because that’s what Te Ngahere has done for the past three years. What did you do to celebrate Matariki?
