Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

 WALT read, write and say māori words and sentences.

Te Reo 

28/10/21

We have been learning our kupu o te ra which is a Maori word each day.  For example;

Peke kura - school bag

Pene rakau - pencil 

Papa takaro - playground 

Pahi - school bus 

Poro - ball

We were also learning how to play wharewhare kemu to learn māori words for fruit. 

Aporo - apple 

Ropae - strawberry  

Panana - banana

Karoti - carrot 

Painaporo - pineapple 

We have made some pukapuka and wrote the name of our fruit and veges and where they came from. Ko wai ahau ko aproro ahau. No hea au No rakau ahau. We also made wheku masks  when it was Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori week.

Ko te whiringa-a -nuku tenei marama means the month is October.

LEGENDS ASSEMBLY

We are learning to use descriptive language in our writing.

First Draft - Mahuika Show

28.5.21

We are writing about our experience at the Mahuika Show. 

Yesterday we left school to go to a excellent show.

In the beginning there were two sisters called Kahu and Sissy. They were out in the garden doing  jobs with Nan. Kahu was complaining that sissy  wasn't doing  jobs. Kahu and sissy found a magic kete and the last buring finger nail of mahuika came out of the kete potiki turned Nan to coal kahu and sissy had to save Nan. They followed potiki to the under would to mahuika on the way pukeko kidnapped potiki and took potiki  to mahuika because mahuika put a curse on pukekos beak because pukeko was being bad.

Ngāti Kurī Proud by Tim Tipene

 WALT explore the various stories about why the iwi is named Ngāti Kuri

I learnt the five tribes of muriwhenua  they are Ngati  kuri Te Aupouri Ngaita  koto Te Rarawa 

I learnt want tutted means tutted is like rolling eyes and  making a noise in disagreement

Sacrifice means giving something up for some one else. 

Mana pride respected  proud greatness.

Mokopuna means grandchild. 

Pa means village..
