We have 568 ākonga at our kura and all of them sang the Māori National Anthem with the Haka at midday, followed by a kōrero with the person beside them and then immersed themselves for the afternoon and the remainder of the week in Te Reo Māori rauemi that I had put together. There was the Waiata Anthems played during lunch eating time and then a reading of Ngā Wīra o Te Pahi (The wheels on the bus) in our whare pukapuka (Library). All students for PE this week have tried some traditional Māori kēmu such as Kia Tekau, Don't stop the poi & Mauī/Matau. We have been loving Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori at Milford Kura!
