I am the head teacher of Doris Nicholson Kindergarten, I am sorry about the equality of the video, Whaea Lisa one of the Kaiako here is doing a mat time with our Tamariki teaching Te Reo and NZSL with our national anthem.
Our kindergarten uses Te Reo Maori each and every day naturally and you can hear it spoken and sung and you can hear the Tamariki use it with us during their day.
For us Te Reo Maori is not just for a week in the year.. it is part of us each and every day.
We are all learners here, from Whaea Lisa being fluent, to each one of the other 4 teachers at different levels of confidence and understanding.
We support everyone in this journey and encourage our extended Kindergarten whanau to embrace and use Te Reo Maori at home as well.
We use Facebook to share Karakia and waiata with them daily. Our Kindergarten is rich in sharing Maori Culture with all.
Te Reo Maori is not just for mat times, it is for all times.
This video was 3 minutes out of a day... but we wanted to post something!!!
Kia ora for this.
