Maori language week.
On week 2 term 3 it was Maori language week. On Monday we learnt about animals and how to say their names in Maori. We also finished our digital Mihi which is a greeting. On Tuesday we did a rotation, first I went to my hapu leader we did a pic collage. We first read a book of maori words and translates to english. The words that were difficult to say for us we had to take a photo of it and then insert it to our pic collage. On our second rotation we learnt about adaptation. Adaptation means the process of change by which organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. Our third rotation was Waiata's with our third and last learning coach known as teacher we learnt three songs. We learnt Te Aroha with sign language and how to sing it. Our second song is worlds greatest. Our third song is wairua tapu tau mai ra. Lastly our fourth song was e toru nga mea. On Wednesday we made a capybara with clues but no one knew it. Everyone drew what they thought what a capybara looked like. On Thursday we went to the zoo. On Friday we did sports and art. For art we did post art. I enjoyed maori language week.
Hi Shreya,
ReplyDeleteGreat post with lots of details about your learning during this very special week. It reads like a recount which is very informative. Which of the four waiata is your favourite? What learning in Maori language do you think you need to practice?
