In PE this week, our ākonga were able to click on the links to our activities. Some of the activities involved whakarongotia to the 'Haere Mai' waiata, panuitia with the pukapuka 'Te Pāmu o Koro Meketānara' and then the tamariki could try out whakapakari tinana with kararehe movements from Te Pāmu, Hikitia te Hā yoga, and even upoko, pakihiwi waiata trying to be as tere as possible. Level 4 Lockdown has definitely not restricted the learning and enjoyment at Milford Kura for Te Wiki ō Te Reo Māori!

Room 2 celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Māori by drawing a well-known Maori character from a Maori myth and legend!

Year 5 completed a Quiz and this is them sharing their scores! We shared pepeha and whakataukī as well as listened to some waiata too. A great moment.

Room 1 drew a Maori Legend character, a famous myth or a supportive message in Te Reo. We met at 12pm on Tuesday and played some Te Reo Māori based games via our Zoom.

In STEM students used their coding skills to program their Micro:bit 'bot' to show different expressions using te reo Māori. Some of the expressions they showed were - harikoa, wera, makariri and ihiihi.

Our Year 2 class had a focus on te reo Māori in our Zoom call today.

The Year 2 team and whanau came together to sing and share their posters.

We all read a Maori myth and legend and created a picture based on the main character in the story. Here are our creations.

Room 18 celebrated Maori Language Moment by making posters with Te Reo phrases!

I decided to whakarongo, panuitia, waiatatia, and matatauria the Pepeha waiata for my Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori. I have also been trying to learn the Sign Language to go with this waiata to teach it to our Kapa Haka rōpu. Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori!
