upoko game with the rest of the class.

James

We play the game upoko hiku as a class every day.

Preesha

Playing upoko hiku ranei with my class mates each day of the week

Lacey

Ko taku mihimihi tuatoru tenei. I plan to increase the depth and detail of my mihimihi very year. It's a fun idea to grab drone shots from YouTube. :-)

Richard

I learned my school's whakatauki

Avery

With the support of a few teachers from Orewa College, i was able to write my pepeha. Coming from the UK in the late 70’s, i was bullied for my accent (it was strong), so i was always conscious of my voice and speaking Te Reo was challenging, but i wanted to show the year 7’s how to overcome the fear and do it anyway I got to present my pepeha to a year 7 class a few weeks back. It was the first time ever speaking my pepeha out loud. I could not have done it with the support and guidance of the teachers and students. Ka Pai!

"Kia pai te rā" and "Nau mai, haere mai" are just a couple of things I learnt during my time at school. Learning te reo Maori has had a great impact on my life, I now have a better understanding of Aotearoa and English itself. In our class, we learnt many karakia's and say them every morning. Many good things have changed in our school because of Maori, now instead of saying "May I use the bathroom please?" we say it in Maori including asking if we can get a drink or other things.

Raina

I played upoko and hiku

Taylor

i asked if i can go to the bathroom in māori

Amaia

I always greet my teachers in the morning with kia ora or kia pai te rā and whenever I need to get a drink I say “Kei te haere ahau ke te inu”. And every morning at school we say a karakia.
