Tania

Having big kōrero with the teachers in my department at my teaching placement school as te reo is still uncomfy for them. Kupu ō te rā everyday for my students that is relevent to our subject. Attending meetings on how we can continie to better support our akonga māori. Continuing to set a te ao māori kaupapa in my classroom. Continuing to find ways to inject te ao māori into the core kaupapa of my subject. Continuing to research my own whakapapa and step into my māoritanga so I can be the best role model I can be for our rangatahi. Continuing to question: what’s māori about this? And striving to honour te tiriti in every step.

I am partaking by spreading awareness about the importance of te ao Māori in Aotearoa. Education is key. I'm also expanding my knowledge daily through Education Perfect. As part of my Teaching degree I have further expanded my knowledge of te ao Māori, and felt now is the time to take it a step further and become more competent in my kupu so that my future akomanga and tamariki can feel empowered too.

Dedicated 30 minutes of learning te Reo everyday !

Maria

I love māori language week! As a pākehā kiwi, it's extremely important to me to learn & kōrero te reo māori. Not only the language but also educate myself about tikanga māori, for myself, my tamariki & my future generations. I have bought my pākeha son up bilingual, he knows more māori names for places, animals and everyday things then he does English so for māori language week I am upping his māori vocab & have made new flashcards for him with more difficult words and some new phrases. And for bedtime, I am telling him a different māori legend each night. Tonight was the story of Waitaiki & Poutini , as we live on the West Coast and he was actually named after the Arahura River. His father is also a Jade carver & has a huge connection to pounamu & the Awa, so my son Awa extremely enjoyed the story. Especially because it's a huge passion of his dads! Nga mihi :)
