One of our wonderful Kaiako put together a slide show for Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori and a Kahoot for our Buddy Classes to do together.

This photo is Akomanga Waru getting ready for the Kahoot. It was a beautiful opportunity to build our tuakana-teina relationships. Our year 4 students knew some of the kupu that the older students did not know, and they had answers that we did not know, so we learned from each other.

Before we began, a piwakawaka visited our class. Some ākonga were distressed with it being inside with us (for various reasons). My Buddy Class teacher explained that she felt graced with it's presence as it was the one year anniversary of her mum's death.

Our whole school took part in the Māori Language Moment and you could feel buzz all day (and week) long.

Miharo!
