Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

   The week of te Reo Māori

 

Do you know how to speak te Reo Māori? If you wanted to know, we have been celebrating te Reo Māori for a week. On Monday we practiced a song called Te Manurewa. We performed it at the assembly. We also have a Kupu of the week (word of the week) . It’s when each week we get a word that is in te Reo Māori and the person who used the word the most gets a certificate on Monday (assembly).

 

The days of the week in te Reo Māori is

Monday – Rāhina

Tuesday – Rātu

Wednesday – Raapa

Thursday – Rāpare

Friday – Rāmere

 

The words that we have learnt so far in te Reo Māori is

Pukapuka – book, patai – question, Tino pai – very good/good job, mōrena – morning, Kia tere – be quick hurry up! Kia kaha – be strong keep going, Ahiahi mārie – good afternoon, rorohiko – computer, iPapa – iPad, Kei hea te – where is the, homai te – bring the … titiro – look and our newest one is kai – food. We also learnt some feelings in Māori and more.

 

Now let’s continue on what we did on the other days. On wednesday we had to sing Te Manurewa and we learnt a special dance for it, they would put it on around 11:30 and we performed while the song was playing.
