Maori Langauge Week

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 27 Hōngongoi - 2 Here-turi-kōkā 2009!
Celebrate Māori Language Week July 27th - August 2nd 2009.

Māori Language Week has been celebrated for over 30 years. Since 1975 Māori Language Week has been an opportunity for us to speak it, or to show our support to speakers of te reo Māori.

We speak te reo maori in Room 8 by using te reo greetings in the morning (for example: Kia ora, Morena or Ata marie), our teacher sometimes gives us simple instructions in te reo (for example: rarangi mai - line up, whakarongo mai - listen). We also play games to learn Nga nama (the numbers).
In Term 3 our focus is to learn Nga Tae (The colours) in te reo. Keep checking the blog for photos of Room 8 using Te Reo in the classroom.
