Sumner School

Ōtautahi | Christchurch

As we are in Taumata 2 Delta and we are not gathering in large groups, each class will choose their own activities for the Māori Language Moment.

Kia ora Because of Level 2 this week, our school stayed in our own classes but every kaiako and class made a commitment to using more te reo throughout the week and every week. During the Māori Language Moment classes were singing and listening to waiata, learning some new kupu and making pictures of them, working on mihimihi, reading big books in te reo, finding out their ingoa i te reo and said karakia before kai. We had a prepared slideshow with karakia timata, kai and whakamutanga, waiata, kīwaha and whakatauki, along with lots of ideas and links to resources for using te reo and it will continue to grow and be used. He waka eke noa!

Kia ora. Our whole kura had a waiata assembly from 11. 50 - 12. 30. We would all normally meet in the school hall but because we were in level 2, we meet in our teams of about one hundred. We have about 420 tamariki and 30 adults! So that is how our kura spent the Māori Language Moment!

I would like to improve my own knowledge and skills in Te Reo so I can confidently integrate the language into my every day life
