Tuatahi te rā - Ake Ake Ake background in MS teams for all hui i tēnei wiki

Hana

We had kōrero mai wānanga across the week and then celebrated with tītītoria, waiata and haka.

Hana

Took the time to refresh my mihi.

Jason

Kei te waiata ahau!

Karlene

This week I've been using more reo in multiple aspects of my work and home life. Listening to waiata Maori on spotify, using more reo kupu at work (especially - Mo taku tomuri! ), reading reo pukapuka with my pepe and using te reo maori kupu at te papa takaro (eg tiemiemi, retireti, tarere).

sophia

Excited about the waiata!

Maria

Kia kaha Te Reo Māori! As an immigrant, I understand the value of manaakitanga from the perspective of a recipient, and I have undertaken study and activities to make sure I am a good visitor, albeit for life. Speaking the language is the key to meeting this goal, for life.

Jodie

This week my team and I have taken part in waiata and kōrero practices. We have also been learning how to use the poi.

Kaavya

I'm attending Te Reo lessons provided by MPI (again) with the amazing Rangihaeata brothers as part of my ongoing learning. This week I made a press-patron contribution to E-Tangata, and shared a rant about this on my facebook https://www. facebook. com/leigh. strange/posts/pfbid02oc5xJ1riYcMtwBkgvoP6HBehE7qzgxZ1k8Lij5QBVWCQ2UwBRNowRPyJ8xdgUZtcl?notif_id=1665041077592181¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif

I've been practising new ways to greet and sign off emails, as well as extending my vocabulary of everyday words

Daniela

This week i have been supporting team members with pronunciation of words and giving the courage to "give it a go" I was also asked to deliver a Karakia this week on behalf of the team and then asked to share those Karakia around the MBovis programme. Although Te Reo Maori is not apart of my normal vocabulary it is apart of my Culture and i rely a lot on my experience growing up on the Marae to support my peers as much as i can.

Tēnā koutou Ko Anastazia tōku ingoa I tupu ake au ki Kemureti Ko Maungatautari tōku maunga Ko Waikato tōku awa Ko Oriental tōku waka Kei Haumaru Kai Aotearoa ahau e mahi ana Nō reira ngā mihi nui tonu Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa

Anastazia

Kia ora, I played the Te Reo Waiata playlist on Spotify in the house and added as many kupu and kiwaha to my emails as I could fit in for the whole day, to connect with my team at mahi.

Hana

I sung waiata with my tamariki and read pūrākau :)

Lauren

I remembered when my husband travelled to Israel he sent a photo of this - the Lord's Prayer in Te Reo on the wall of this historic church in Jerusalem, along with other languages from around the world. We thought that was really cool! So for my Maori Language Moment I looked it up and recited the prayer in Te Reo.

Leigh

For our team meeting on Wednesday we prepared our Agenda in Te Reo. We opened our meeting with a Karakia and then all team members introduced them selves with a pepeha, We ended the meeting with a Karakia whakamutunga

leah

I tenei ra kei te mahi ahau i te kaainga (Today I am working from home)

Sue

We held a virtual Te Reo Māori quiz to try and include the kōrero, whakarongo, ako and tākaro elements :)

Eileen-Rita

Loving the Waiata on Spotify this week :-)

Kate

I’ve been learning my mihi and other Te Reo through classes offered via Manatū Ahu Matua. This video represents my progress; just noticed an error but kei te pai 😊 I’ll keep at it!

Latu

Cheeky few rounds of Tākaro! with the Engagement & Information whānau

Cam

Understanding Māori language, culture and values, is to understand what shapes the identity of our country
