E4 Te Tinana

This week E4 has been celebrating Maori Language Week.  We found out the names for parts of the body.  Watch the video below to hear us sing a song about them.  Then look at the picture to see the words.

C3 and E1

C3 got together with our buddy class E1 to begin learning our mihi -how to introduce ourselves in Te Reo. We created our own whare (house) and practised saying Ko _______ ahau- my name is_______. Haere mai te Whare o E1 e C3! 

G2

G2 learned a new song for Maori Language week.

Here is a video clip of us singing it. Check out Korban's awesome dancing skills too.

Arohatia te Reo

Nau mai!
Ngā mihi ki a koe i te Wiki o te Reo Māori.

Come and see all the amazing things the children at Eastern Hutt have been doing for Māori language week.

Here is a video of C2 singing a waiata.

Mr Keys visit

We had the amazing opportunity host our Prime Minister Mr John Key at Eastern Hutt School. Kapa haka gave a beautiful first performance of the year. Here are some photos of the event.

Updates to the blog

Make sure you check out the pages along the top of this blog.  The Kapa Haka page has been updated with all the words for the songs we are learning - maybe students in the Kapa Haka can practise at home!  There is also a great proverb about Responsibility for teachers to talk about in their classrooms.

How are you? How is your friend? G4

Here we are practicing our Te Reo. We usually begin the day by telling Miss Slater how we are feeling when she asks, "Kei te pehea koe?" during the roll.

Today we learned to ask and tell how someone else is feeling.

e.g

Kei te pehea to hoa?

How is your friend?

Kei te hiamoe ia

S/he is sleepy 

Like and Dislikes in G4

WALT: State our likes and dislikes in Te Reo Maori

Today we learned how to ask someone's opinion about a particular topic.

e.g

He pai a spongebob  squarepants?

Is spongebob squarepants good?

We could answer in one of the following ways:

Ae, he tino pai

Yes, it's very good

Ae, he pai

Yes, it's good

Kao

No
