Our school song

Come and listen to our Eastern Hutt School song performed beautifully by our students. You can find the words and translation to the song on our Kapa Haka page.

Ti rakau

Here is a video that the juniors are using to practice Ti rakau. You can do this at home by using rolled up magazines. Give it a go!

C2 Te Reo Kori

In C2 we have been learning to use ti rakau. We are getting good at keeping the beat.

A9 Te Reo Kori

Kia ora tatou!!

A9 have been learning a bit about Te Reo Maori (the Maori language).

We thought that the main reason for why we learn Maori language at school is because Maori were the very first people in Aotearoa. We also looked at a whakatauki (proverb/saying) "Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Maori" "Language is the life force of Maori" we realised that these words show us that language is very important to Maori people.

We have also been having fun performing te reo kori (an action type of song).

Can you match the actions to the pictures? Post a comment of the action you think the picture is showing.
