Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

1. WALT read, write and say māori words and sentences.
2.  One of the things that we did with Whaea Seroya was Te Reo learning. We did a kupu o te ra which is a word of the day. Kupu o te ra taught me a lot of maori words. These are some of them: 1. Arai mata-face mask 2. Papa takaro-playground 3. Peke kura-schoolbag 4. Kuaha-door and 5. Poro-ball. We played a game called whare whare kemu. Whare whare kemu is basically bingo we played it to learn the names of food in Maori. eg 1. Remana-lemon 2. Kapu-cup 3. Aparo-apple 4. Panana-banana. In my  hua rakau pukapuka I created a character which was a lemon man AKA Lenny. On my second page I had a Ko wai ahau, Ko remana ahau with a picture of a black board saying Lenny the lemon. On my 3rd and 4th page I had a No wai au, no raku au, hen a tree with lots of lemons on it. My wheku mask is blue and black. Its eyes look like teardrops. We played whare whare kemu. Sadly I never won, usually I was one off!!! But though I never won I still enjoyed it!

 We are learning to re-tell a story in our own words.

Once upon a time kahu was chasing sissy and trying to get her to do her jobs. Nan said stop doing that and come help me with this job. Nan kahu said why dose sissy always run away when its time to do jobs? well we all do our parts to help, I guess said kahu. Then sissy whizzed past and Nan caught sissy and said you to stay here. Out of the corner of there eyes the saw a kete and when they opened it Nan tuned to coal. hello said Potiki I am the last flaming finger nail of mahuika.
