Faith

My journey of fatherhood began in Aotearoa, and I believe that we must honor the sacred ancient wisdom of the Maori people and the language of the Spirits who guided them across the seas. In speaking the language of the ancients, we honor and we heal, and we grow together in unity.

Keith

Kai Ora, Our team takes pride in incorporating te reo Māori in as much of our daily life as possible. Maori language week gave us the opportunity to do more, with a different theme each day, eg learning the days of the week, and using more greetings etc. Some of us learned and shared our mihi, and one lucky recipient enjoyed the team singing hari huritau.

As Te Wiki o Te Reo 2002 wraps up, we’re proud to share with you a few useful words and phrases that our whānau mahi has learnt over the week. It has been wonderful to see and hear Te Reo around Tōtara Hospice this week, and we are excited to see how much more we learn between now and Te Wiki o Te Reo 2023. Kia kaha Te Reo Māori ❤

Lorna

He Toa Reo Māori, 50 years on. A wonderful experience for our small rōpū of tamariki.

Shanice

He Toa Reo Māori, 50 years on. A wonderful experience for our small rōpū of tamariki. They listened to Moana Maniapoto speak of the roles of Ngā Tamatoa and Te Rōpū Reo Māori and how they fought for the revitalisation of te reo Māori. They also had the opportunity to kanikani in front of Rob Ruha and received a special shout out. Whakarongo ki te reo māori e karanga nei. Whakarongo ki nga akoranga rangatira. Listen, the language is calling you. Listen, and learn the language of the chiefs.

Shanice

Pronounciation of Mateponapona Aotearoa, Arthritis New Zealand's new name.

Today we established our very own Youth Council and announced our Māori representative Aaliyah. To show our support we performed for the first time a haka to Aaliyah and celebrated her with a beautiful korowai made from one of our local Taranaki whānau. It was exciting to be able to do the haka that we have been practising this term in an authentic experience and to do this for one of our learners was ka rawe!

I tēnei wiki, our kura has been buzzing with all the Te Reo Māori we have been hearing in the playground. We issued a wero to our tamariki with the incentive that every time they were heard speaking Māori at kura, they would get a ticket to enter the kaha ki te reo prize draw. Whakaahua: ētahi o ngā toa mo te kaha ki te korero draw.

Ruiha

Whakaata: One of our daily wero winners. Kaupapa was pāngarau- ngā ahuatanga Whakaahua: Ngā toa mō te whakataetae mahi toi mō ngā tuakana. Kaupapa: Poipoia te kākano kia puawai and how it relates to their learning journey at kura.

Tēnā koutou. The countdown is on! Looking forward to next week and connecting with all the reo initiatives going on. Especially in regard to acknowledging the mahi of our Tipuna who, without their foresight, knowledge and commitment, we wouldn't have it protected and cherished as the taonga it is today. Many of these Rangatira have passed and it is sad when we reflect on the fact that they are not here to witness the product of their Mahi. I like to think they would be proud. 'Tama tū, Tama ora. Tama noho, Tama mate. ' Nga mihi nunui ki a koutou.

Kia Ora Whanau here are some links to some Waiata which my friend and I did as part of the celebration of Te Wiki o te reo Maori as a pakeha myself i think its important that we are as zealous in our appreciation and promotion of te reo o tangata whenua o Aotearoa as those of previous generations were in their endeavours to curb it nga mihi https://l. facebook. com/l. php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube. com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFeQJhtMgQe0%26feature%3Dshare%26fbclid%3DIwAR2IInCmPbKMyWrt5o1sLjmdet1Mlo6Mr0gZ5xRkyvMBfgKaANAUUCv3l7Q&h=AT1USf5JlhJLxUNw3xZXXRKjk-xy_f4g-osAjBN9O3rlvTcuKNjGo1KJeg46HAtDWcLy8NtwLbMrHJf0agEPxJtJTSkXIHR7eOwyw_xQmsM2l1ifrwUhb0C0SaQCgMfmglQAVISwUs7w5_NEENSwh5J5eA&tn=H-R&c[0]=AT3o4rKqJDvyw02-p-3CvPX4e0sH3RVMcAdajJFQY8ifdQPJUHBov-OI_hfVBxebYZ8USme0vMLdm-kW2gqw_fAO8ph9z-AT9zDruN8LbRh__pjeJuuQKYXQstVUS0e6gIQx_D2uuDYsryRRUgbZ2gAPfcw-DCICKwcLj7wz5kLSou1n23Hp https://l. facebook. com/l. php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu. be%2Fj2wG-mwNFEo%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3rnY0Q_k5XGd5SndZWhKguQCxaXOA38aHhtK2Z4PoZozQVoyFxgfb1baA&h=AT0MV-d5ooBaRvstI-KuORuMne5eqSDuUSY1FVbXcVqNwJ5qGBeRK2_MH1dSk265vFyDFN_eW8utxksAin8YRVhVRj3zvBQc7KDv9Uz2Cv5xRZKjvGjJ33Dk0eCM-T2tXiy9zRDQ5h8e2FDMstbQ-7hHMQ&tn=H-R&c[0]=AT2cPQ3FXwm5TpgQX5j6mD-6wKROrEcnj57ste3KTWb3yxtUn8RcsEHz5T4zE5U57VtgteUZePhAZKH6QtccY_0OXp-qdZ2R9FvGZHnfFa42-c2pKhlW3cWZ4LN8R6IqjFXDwx2bTH-Hostrc83pz1AnqMfvCCGy5ZSonUkjtZyFFR77huL0 https://l. facebook. com/l. php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu. be%2FqMWoYLqHyXE%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2cucm28-nqtFsKRCdvUljRmvZRN0qh-fWAdpydkJ9xY_9Cja0HFBdNtl0&h=AT0Zq7vup7HzjoEgVSLDqRngsl8tNgIIFSZs6Ek64VRq9Lz7yKDXSECVrLeHhMq2zSI5FTkQZDJOQtWoVpkqWTFJWlT-R3Vy19TFuRphqAhHEfBHYYat8hkYi306ka_43k71FTACrSfuoa2r8_0d_pMjrg&tn=H-R&c[0]=AT1CWoMaODXN8X2gop0Y6y9FhZTTsKgjzgQLjGHTo8_o74YUqdEI-8M4t-Sb7d4G0Wff1LV5wbBSm5yGmTJ5rLa7b0VrDJAUBUP4nDLVV0khLBAb68hl6p8PT9gufX8eeghNRtIjT7FyMn7LzIaTDwDdnzhqZ__FS6ifzvJqVW5iE4X5ZwCj https://l. facebook. com/l. php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu. be%2Fpghh6R0i6x0%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1ZvQ4c-PHG1zL7MlFfQxPUwxFx-6Nq_cBjhiP2iTM7uis5xfE6N3ISVE4&h=AT3X2icQxDEF-giwqliyqVqCzIDtyz52vMS4Trp4GHm_Lmm0eSPSmdnJo_2UflLJ_lXlXFgAoDplpG7ISgLLx2y53h9GvsoIWPbEhsDI4UO4ZCZBPeZ57l7Nt_sE8RaeWVy7NKtpPWPoi6rsHmHX8hoeOA&tn=H-R&c[0]=AT2bhwcH4jASyOHrGeVM0XRUOlzZHhdVNpGwC4g5pOsWClAx4EOJtUNWlVv12ejbZq9lAh_eBq8sjQu721o9HKvZQ4utdzHyhM8hgKrOgDfyb48xuO_dB2LxXO_KvpJDuxph0xw0oaPnnsGbL7JZFkSJXX_ozYZ871cZR1T6-0FhszpYQOUA

Our school gathered together to mark the moment. After an acknowledgement of all the mahi that has gone into revitalising the language across Aotearoa, we sang and did a countdown of kupu i te reo Māori.

Clare

We created a Seesaw Activity with help videos and sheets. For their home learning each night, the children taught their parents some basic Te Reo and make videos of whānau saying the Reo phrases together. Kaiako had lots of fun watching and listening to recordings each night. We ended the week with a celebration of afternoon kai with whānau, a small kapa haka performance, and a hui where children presented their parents with certificates that they wrote out for them, including Te Reo praises. It was brilliant and enjoyed by all and we look forward to doing this annually.

Nerina

We had our first whole school gathering in 2 years and sang / waiata-a-ringa Ngā Iwi E, E Minaka Ana and Tihore Mai. It was loud and proud.

Karen

I wrote a kōrero about a show at the rose theatre. An actor sharing he was playing Romeo.
