Māori Language Week

This week is Māori language week. To be honest I don’t really like speaking Māori but hey, you can’t change reality

On Monday we had our normal whole school assembly. Near the end of the assembly the principal got everyone to stand up and sing Te Manurewa. It’s quite a popular song that my school sings, it also has actions that you can dance to

The next day. (Tuesday) One of the intermediate teachers set a daily quiz that everyone participated in. There were little notes hidden around each space and we had the job of collecting them. If the juniors  found a note they would have to take it to a teacher but if a senior found a note then they would have to email the teacher that set up the quiz.

On Wednesday we had to read Māori Stories to the year fours. We had to pair up with someone, grab some books and read to them for 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes we would go over to the year four space and Lear about body parts. It looked way different compared to when I was there. At 12:05 we had Māori minute of silence were we had to sing Te Manurewa. 

In conclusion this week was pretty exciting but i will say im not really great at speaking different languages so I didn’t have an amazing week but i was fine.
