Te Pae Kōrero | Our Why

Kōrero te reo māori

Sasha

I am Pakiha, and a Father and grandad , my children and grand children are all Maori on their mums side of the Family. My oldest son over the past 5 years has taken up te reo Maori studies, and ive noticed a real change in him. Before he did so he seemed lost in a Pakiha society, and since he started his new path, he is a very content human being. Ive watched his progress, and i support him in every way i can, i know some words and phrases that i learned while we were a married couple, and have hung onto that little. Im keen to learn more now im retired. so i can support my sons journey,

To understand more of what's been said at tangi, i have find it sad going to a whānau tangi and not knowing what is being said.

Bit of a throwback! We have tried to incorporate as much Te Reo Māori in our akomanga as possible through fun and engaging ways! A crowd favourite this week has been using the tī rakau and learning E Papa Waiari. The tamariki have loved it! !

Tamariki from Turitea wharekura performed Kapa Haka items for the public at the Spring Fling event. There was lots of positive feedback and there is no doubt that they will be asked to perform at next year’s event.

In The Dunedin Contact Centre for Ministry of Social Development we have embraced Te Wiki o te Reo and have had daily Te Reo challenges, quizzes and performed a Waiata Challenge as well as a shared lunch. Today we had a mufty day at work where we all had to wear Manumangu, Whero or Ma. We had a few of our staff try the challenge of speaking hte longest place name in the world "Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapiki-maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. " That was fun.
