Rose - Auckland

As a new student teacher in Early Childhood Education, I believe I need to learn more in te reo Māori and its uniqueness to help me accommodate and understand more of the values and so that I can carry on teaching the simple plurals of te reo Māori. As a Cook Islands Maori descendant, I feel that it is important to keep teaching our mother tounges in our indigenous homeland so learning and teaching te reo Māori will help me in so many ways.
