I work in a maori owned and operated business being the only pakeha. I love the maori culture and language and learnt key greeting phrases and everyday sayings in te reo maori and signed up to a tikanga course

Preformed at Tuhono festival in Christchurch, Taught the rangatahi from my school and got to influence people through Kapa Haka and speaking Te Reo Maori

shared greetings, kupu, whakatauki & whakatauaki, videos explanations of Maoritanga

It is my partners birthday on Monday and over the weekend I went to a cake making and decorating class. The class was all in korero Pakeha, unfortunately I left the recipe behind at class but the recipe was written in Te Reo. The keke pictured above was the cake I made for him and decorated. There were five wahine in the class.

We went to see Nga Rorirori at Te Pou Theatre in Henderson.

Our whole school participated in Te Wiki o te Reo - karakia, waiata, quiz, tuakana - teina activities, kapa haka presentation and ex pupils' messages of how they have incorporated Te Reo in their lives and careers. This coming Thursday we are celebrating a Mihi Maori and have invited our whanau to join us. The video posted is our Year 0 class singing 'E Toru Nga Mea' and ending with the Sign of the Cross.

We celebrated te wiki o te reo māori by baking paraoa parai!

With my tamariki, we started every morning by saying our kura karakia and completed our calendar (ko te aha tenei ra? Ko te aha tenei marama? Ko te aha tenei kaupeka). We also did our karakia for kai everday. We learnt some basic kupu, each day was a different focus and completed some activities. The picture is of my new display in my classroom. I have only been in Aotearoa for just under 2 years and really tried to immerse myself in the Māori culture and language this year, which I feel like I have started to do.

I tried to get as many hoa mahi me whānau members involved with kākahu. Then as many tamariki at kura involved with pānui, waiata, kupu, movies and a wonderful assembly. Some staff got certificates for achievements in their māori ako (coincidentally) and the whole kura did a haka for them 🥰

Mā te kōrero i ngā wā katoa. Ko au tētahi o ngā Kaiāwhina ki taku Kōhanga, ko au hoki te kaitiaki o te reo nā reira, mā te whakaako ki ngā mokopuna, te reanga o nāianei, Kia ora ai te reo!

I texted a client a message all in Te Reo

We learnt a rakau game in class and have sung the waiata with it all week. We will continue this long after the week has finished.

Te Kura Takawaenga o Wainuiomata

Colonisation took my reo, my mana, my culture - It's time to take our mana back through learning te reo Māori. I've been ignorant to that fact all my life. I have never really had the desire to learn my mother tongue until today. I'm not sure why? It's like a lightbulb came on in my head. I was born and raised in Auckland and went to school in a multicultural climate. I didn't know anyone who spoke the Reo except my Nan, but she only spoke it to my mum, who would answer back in English. I now live in Te Urewera among the Tuhoe people who speak Te Reo fluently and it's so beautiful to hear the words flowing out of them, especially the tamariki. I was privileged to sit in with a group of wahine toa today out at Ruatoki. The conversation was mostly in Te Reo Māori and although I don't speak it, I was surprised that I was able to understand enough to contribute my "20c" into the conversation. It motivated me or contributed to my lightbulb moment. When I arrived at work, I checked my emails and come across this email and decided to join. I have printed out the resources and will take them home to learn them. Small beginnings but hey. . . beginning is the journey started! Thank you all . . . let's get our mana back. Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori! Ake Ake Ake. . . A Forever Language

Here at Te Kura Hapori o Te Pou Hōia | Freyberg Community School we celebrated throughout the week culminating with a special whole school performance of 'Kōrero Māori E' in our school hall! Tauira from across our kura created a video sharing their ideas about why te reo Māori is a treasure to cherish, protect and nurture - AKE AKE AKE!

A Lego Cooperative Construction was a great way for Mataī class to share our learning about our marae visit. Look carefully and you can see the tangata whenua welcoming the manuhiri with a pōwhiri, the wharenui and the wharekai, as well as the hangi pit with all the delicious kai.

Use te reo Māori as part of my every day conversation with both speakers and non speakers of te reo.

Kia kaha te reo Māori! Learning the reo is one of the best things I've ever done.

Kai mahi across our organisation participated in a Reo Maori moment wero. This is the team from our whare pukapuka in Tokoroa.

Storytimes were delivered in Te Reo Maori at our libraries this week.

Emails went out each day with some kupu that pertain to the day to day mahi of our organisation, and a range of mini wero, where kaimahi were encouraged to update their signatures to include their job titles in Te Reo, and use many of the kupu posted all around our whare.

We were proud to host Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Hiringa at both our whare pukapuka, and our whare kaunihera to kick off Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori.

Our kura had a whole week of celebrations randing from traditional Māori games, waiata and kanikani. The highlight was definitely JumpJam and the 'pukana cam'! Such a great week! Ake ake ake! ! !

Our Mayor, Gary Petley and Manukura Susan Law unveiled the new images for our ruma hui at te whare o te kaunihera a rohe o Waikato ki te Tonga. We undertook to rename our ruma hui in 2023, to provide them with ingoa that had more meaning and mana. These manu were created for the organisation by Jade Cortesi and we were proud to be able to unveil and bless these during Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori.

At school we did the Ao haka and created games. We did workshops to teach students about Te Reo and what Ake Ake Ake means
