Whakanuia te wiki o te reo Māori
Celebrate Māori language
week
Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Greetings to you all.
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori /Māori Language Week takes place this year between Monday 27 July and Sunday 2 August. This special week provides an opportunity to celebrate and learn te reo Māori, helping to secure its future as a living, dynamic, and rich language.
I strongly urge and encourage you to really step it up and promote the use of te reo Māori at school during this week and hopefully beyond.
Here are some practical ideas that I know all of you can try next week with your class & around home and school:
- Greet everyone in person, everyday in te reo Māori (kia ora, tēnā koe/kōrua/koutou, mōrena, ata mārie, ka kite anō, haere rā, e noho rā) &/or change your email greetings/signature to te reo Māori using these google doc ‘Useful Phrases in te reo Māori' - https://goo.gl/ZgB0hH
- Always start & end the day/session with our school karakia
- Sing a Māori waiata everyday http://tereomaori.tki.org.nz/Reo-Maori-resources/Hei-Waiata
- Learn these classroom kupu-https://quizlet.com/subject/classroom-kupu/ & then create labels to stick them to the relevant objects in your class, use the Māori names of the objects when possible
- Sign up to Te Kupu o te Wiki http://kupu.maori.nz/
- Share with your class everyday a different Whakataukī - https://goo.gl/QEqJOAor Kīwaha-https://quizlet.com/subject/maori-kiwaha/
- Ensure you and your kids know how to pronounce Māori names correctly (people e.g. Anaru, Hurihia, Awanui, Ngāriki and places e.g. Akaroa, Rangiora, Ōtautahi)
- Celebrate all the Māori words you & your kids know already, you might be surprised - make a class list & identify them all e.g. kai, marae, mana, kaupapa, whānau. Discuss their meaning, practice pronunciation but most importantly, commit to using the kupu/words you already know in your everyday conversations
- Know these two documents inside out & use them as key resources for
planning, teaching and assessing te reo Māori at school
1) Te Aho Arataki Marau mō te ako i te reo Māori Kura Auraki http://tereomaori.tki.org.nz/Curriculum-guidelines
2) He Reo Tupu, He Reo Ora http://hereoora.tki.org.nz/
- Get to know your kids better by learning & sharing your own and as well as their own mihi
- Identify & discuss important Māori values - http://tereomaori.tki.org.nz/Curriculum-guidelines/The-importance-of-learning-te-reo-Maori/Exploring-shared-values. Decide as a class how we can demonstrate, celebrate & promote these values at school
- Share some of the articles, videos, stories from the links below with your whole class
- If you need help, please just ask. I am always happy to help with pronunciation, support & encouragement!
