What better way to enjoy your sweet kai than to pair it with the sweet sounds of waiata. Just a snippet though whānau. Mauri ora! #reomāori #reomoments

Hakari to finish off the working week for our kaimahi at Waka Kotahi #reomāori #reomoments

My two mokos singing Tutira Mai with their koro (excuse the croaky singing from me). Moko on the left going extra at the end! #reomaori #reomoments

Running an agency wide Kahoot! gives the perfect opportunity for kaimahi from Northland to Southland to come together and harness their competitive spirit in a safe learning environment. The end result was a lot of fun, a few prizes and for one. . . . . bragging rights! #reomaori

Kia whai wāhi ngā tangata katoa ki te ako So everyone has the space to learn

Hari ki Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori koutou. Karawhiua!

Craig W is not from Aotearoa but he has been a staunch supporter of everything Māori. He is very happy with his pukapuka he will use on a daily basis and his potae that will be helpful in this Wellington weather. Kei runga noa atu Craig!

Amy is new to Waka Kotahi and is super keen to increase and improve her reo. She is pictured with her rauemi she was given to support her on her journey. Kia kaha te reo Māori Amy

This is one of my 7 reasons for speaking the reo #IntergenerationalLanguageTransmission #TaongaTukuIho

Because you can never play enough Kahoot when learning about sentence structure.

The learning is never ending . . . online learning for karakia whakakapi

Ko au te toa o te kemū nei!

We still wanted to share kai but couldn't do our usual hakari with everyone so this year our alternative kai was a nice wee cheeseboard. Namunamua!

Jumping on the sign language 'Pepeha' trend #ReoMoment

Read my pukapuka entitled "Waiata Maori Songs In History" #ReoMoment

Alice B taking snapshots of all she has done this week to be a part of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Ka mau te wehi Alice!

He aha te toa o te kemū? Tātou katoa! Ngā mihi mo tō taonga @konei. nz @maimoa. creative

Matt from our Workplace Services has been a champion in promoting te reo in our work place every day. This week has been no different. Here he is proudly wearing his new taonga.

What a way to showcase the important mahi being done around road safety for iwi Māori. Of special note is the kōrero during whakawhanaungatanga about how each person will celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Some have demonstrated that by changing their backgrounds while each speaker used te reo in their kōrero. Ahakoa he iti he pounamu!

On the right is Paul. On the left is Henry. In the middle is Pou Ārahi Erin. All three are presenting a live call on manaakitaanga. What a way to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo by sharing our values from Te Ao Māori!

Stacie S is an integral part of our Learning and Development team at Waka Kotahi. Stacie won the pukapuka as a spot prize for supporting our Te Wa Tuku Reo and is learning a waiata from her 2yr old child. She showed the pukapuka to her eldest son when she collected him from school yesterday. He said “mom, that is what I made today, I made the jawbone and my necklace of Māui’. Here he is pictured wearing his necklace and holding the pukapuka.

This didn't happen at 12pm on 14 September but still a Reo Moment. While out for dinner, our waiter had a kōrero with us for 30secs using te reo. We asked him for a pic but he politely declined instead referring us to the print on the wall. Ka mau te wehi ki a ia!

An online session learning our Agency waiata this morning. Not ideal with all the technology lag that comes with hui-a-tima but we got there! Suddenly I don't sound like Mariah Carey after all when I'm the only one singing and everyone else is singing on mute! Ka mau te wehi tātou! Mauri ora!

Some of our Māori Partnerships team from Waka Kotahi participated in the Kahoot quiz on Monday. In the centre of the pikitia is Kathy Chinn who made the podium in the #1 spot "KC Waka Kotahi". The team celebrated Kathy's effort with this pikitia. It would be worthy to note that every person in the pikitia is based around the country from Te Taitokerau to Otautahi. Kia kaha te reo Māori!
