I compeleted a Maori task.

I answered different questions like: He ... tenei, He ... tena and He ... tera. For example: He aha tenei. Your response should be: He pene tenei.

Next it was questions like: He ... tena. For example the question would be: He aha tena. Then your response should be He painaporo tena.

The last questions were like: He ... tera. For example the questions would say: He aha tera.And your response would be: He wharepuni tera.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt a lot Maori words for places and objects.

Maori Questions

I completed a task called Maori questions.

This task is about creating your own question and answers. When you are creating your questions always start with: Kei hea te ...? Then your answer would be: Kei ... i te ...

For example: Kei hea te patara? Kei matou i te pouaka. Patara means water bottle and pouaka means box.

On my slide you will see the photos, questions and answers and there will be arrows pointing at the objects and telling you what that object is in english.

I enjoyed this task because I got to make my own questions and answers to show what they mean.

Revision

We did revision about all the things we did during the term. 

First we played a memory game with Whaea Odie - where we find two cards that are the same, then you have to say the maori word.

Next we answered questions in Maori. I used the Maori dictionary to help me define the words that I do not know. One of them were: ko wai o hoa which means who are your friends?

I enjoyed this activity because I got to learn new words in Maori.

Sentences

We learnt about Maori sentences.

First we revised on left and right. Left is maui in Maori and right is matau. 

Next we practised with Whaea Odie  -  we revised runga and raro which means up and down. We also practised waho and roto which means inside and outside.

For our work was we had to make sentences using words in English then translating into Maori. One of them was: Apple and bag.

The sentence is: Kei hea te Aporo? Kei roto i te peke.

I enjoyed the lesson because I learnt alot  of new words in Maori.

Ktichen Items

We had to find 10 objects that belong in the kitchen.

First we we practised up and down phrases in Maori. Up means runga and down means raro. One of the phrases were for up: kei runga i te... . For down it was: kei raro i te... .

Next we had to create a poster and put on the pictures. Next we had to label the pictures in te reo Maori. For example: Chair means nohoanga in te reo.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt about kitchen words in te reo Maori

Positions

We learnt about prepositions.

The first preposition was tenei which means here. An example of here is: he pene tenei which means the pen is here.

The second preposition was tena which means there. An example of there is: he puka puka tena which means the book is there.

The last preposition was tera which means over there. An example of over there is: he turu tera which means the chair is over there.

Maori | Classroom Questions

I learnt classroom questions that will help me in the classroom.

The first question that I learnt was Kua marama. Kua marama means ( Do you understand )

The second question that I learnt was Kua mutu. Kua mutu means ( Are you finished )

Next time I can practise these questions so I can use these questions more often.

Mihi Whakatau

Mihi whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects to the place. The Maunga (mountain) , Awa (river) and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.  

Introducing Ingoa (name) , Oku tipuna (ancestored place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitor/s that are being welcomed. 

It is important to end with a warm welcome so the visitors know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of a visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections.

Names

This week, we learned how to understand where certain letters go when writing in Maori. We were given clues to help us with our tasks.

First, we had to match english names to the right Maori name. We used our knowledge of the Maori letters to find the correct answer. For example: Raniera is daniel, Hone is John and Maaka is Mark.

After that, there were Maori phrases on a document that we had to translate into english. Foor example: Tena kotou katoa which is greeting to you all and Te kau ma waru ōku tau which is I am eighteen years old.

I enjoyed learning new Maori names.

Kapa haka performance

Today we watched a kapa haka group performance.  

First the kapa haka group did an entrance ceremony. The entrance was a traditional entrance, the entrance they did was when visitors came to visit.  They used a conch to let the people know they are coming in.  

Then they introduced to us a weapon and other tools that are used for dexterity. The tools that were used for dexterity were Ti Rakau and poi. A poi is a ball connected to a string.

A ti rakau is a stick that is used for wrist and hand flexibility. 

After that the kapa haka group performed a haka. Then once when they’re done the boys kapa haka perform as in response or a way of saying thank you.

I think that the kapa haka was great because they told us information about the differnent types of resourses.

  

Volcano Names

 This week I translated Auckland volcano names to Maori.

First we had to translate the Maori volcano names into english. For example: One tree hill. In Maori is Maungakiekie. Mount Smart. In Maori is Rarotonga.

Then we filled out a weather sheet. For example: it is a cloudy day. In Maori it means He kapua. It is a rainy day. In Maori it is He ua.

I got most of the words right and I'd like to do this activity again.

L.I to learn new words.

Maori Names

For Maori we translated peoples names to english.

First we had to read the names and translate them. In the Maori alphabet letters that Maori do not use are: j, l, s, v, and d. Instead they use r, h, and w.

Next we looked them up on the Maori dictionary to see if they are correct. I got three wrong and the rest correct. I was close to getting all of them correct. 

I enjoyed learning new words in Maori.

LI. To learn new Maori names.

Maori

Today for Maori we learned body parts in Maori.

The activity is to highlight the words we know in Maori and we have to leave the ones that we don't know blank. The second activity I did was to match the Maori phrase with the correct picture. ( For example: head- Mahunga , shoulder- Pakihiwi ) 

I enjoyed Te Reo Maori because I learned new words and about the weather.
