Maori Language Week

0 comments

Kia ora koutou katoa,

This week is Maori Language Week across Aotearoa New Zealand. Here are a couple of really cool opportunities for children or adults to take part in:

Kotahi Mano Kaika: 12 Week Te Reo Challenge - this link from FaceBook has a challenge which will extend y our  usage of te reo maori. It has a whole range of resources and activities you can try at home or school. You can even set the challenge based on beginner, intermediate or advanced.

Maori Language.net - this web site has loads of resources for you to explore.

Maori Dictionary.co.nz - this is a great site for learning those words you need to know quickly.

Finally, check out the Te Reo Practise page on our Room 2 blog, which has some really easy to use te reo movies - you can listen and learn then practise!

The Korero Maori web site is another excellent resource. It gives background about this week, including links to the NZ History site which has a page of the 100 words every New Zealander should know.

Senior Ski Trip Cancelled

Unfortunately the ski trip to Porter Height's is off due to blizzard conditions on the mountain. Kelly will try to find an alternative date and will keep you posted. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Kelly, Mel and Gemma for their amazing hard work in organising this first for our school. What stunning people we have working with our children!
