Te reo | what is this?

I completed a task asking what things where

I answered different questions like: He ... tenei, He tena and He tera. For example: He aha tenei. my response would be: He paoro tenei.

Next it was questions where tena a question was He aha tenei my answer was: He pero tena.

The last questions were tera. For example the questions would say: He aha tera. And my answer was: He mahina tera.

I enjoyed this task because I didn't know most words or how to prenounce them.

Revision

This week group B revised questions from this term.

First we played a memory game and we had to say the name of the picture if you made a match . You get another turn if you make a match.

Next I searched up the questions and what they mean. Some were Ko wai o hoa? means who are  your friends, and Kei hea to hoa? means where is your friend.

I like this activity but I want to learn more questions.

Sentences

We learnt a voritey of diffrent sentences in Maori.

First I looked at the sentences and where they were placed like in the fridge.

Next I took the object I was using which was an orange and put that into a sentence in Maori.

Lastly I put that together and this was the sentence, Kei hea te arani? Kei runga i te tepu.

I like this activity but I don't always understand how to answer the questions.

Questions

This week I learnt new questions.

The question we learnt where kei te runga means up, and Kei te raro means down.

Wheae Odie asked everyone these questions for the picture on our card or the object in our hand.

I like these questions and I'd like to learn more.

Then we made a poster on 10 kitchen items and we had to lables them in Maori. 

For e.g: stove in maori the is To, and kettle is pata.

I like this activity and I'd like to do questions on a playground next. 

Positions

This week we learnt diffrenet positions in Maori.

The positions I used were tenei means holding something.

Another position I used was tena mean something close to you.

The last positions I used was tera this means far away.

I like this activity and I'd like to learn new positions.

Te reo Maori

This week I learnt how to ask class room questions.

The question we learnt where kua marama that means do you understand, and kua mutu means your finished or it means are you finished. 

I like these questions because I can ask Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie these new questions.

L.I to learn class room questions.

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 significent aspeds 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

Kapa Haka

 This week we watched a performance by a Kapa Haka group.

First they did a special ceremony to welcome us.

Then they used this special shell. It's to warn there tribe that people are near by.

Next they told us about the poi and taiaha. The taiaha is to frighten of the enemy. The poi is for dancing or performing.

After we played Matau and Maui. Matau means you go right Maui means you go left.

I enjoyed this performance i'd like to see it again because it scared me.

Volcano names

This week I translated Auckland volcano names to Maori.

Some volcano names are Puketāpapa,means Mt Roskill, Maungarei means Mt Wellington and Rarotonga means Mt Smart.

Then we did the weather sheet. For example: He kapua, He paki, He whatu. He kapua means cloudy, He paki means sunny and He ua whatu means hail.

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

Te reo Māori

This week for te reo Maori we learnt diffrent body parts in te reo Maori.

The first activity Year 5 did was body parts. For example mouth would be waha. This activity was difficult because there were lots of words most of us don't know.

Next we had to highlight words that matched. We could only highlight the Maori words that matched with the English words.

I need to learn more Maori words I only knew some Maori words.
