Celebrate Māori Language Week 2014
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2014
The theme is ‘Te Kupu o te Wiki', The Word of the Week’
As this is Māori Language Week we are further integrating Māori into all that we do this week.
We are very fortunate to have so many students who identify there special Māori heritage at Mokau School. Yesterday we read a neat story about Hine-Matangi and learnt how gardens were cultivated by early Māori. We loved the idea of using large rocks in the garden to catch the suns heat to warm our gardens. This is something we want to try once our gardens are built.
We have also been counting in Māori and we think it is very clever how the reo helps you know the numbers.
tekau ma rua is 12 (10 and 2)
toru tekau ma wha is 34( 3 10's and 4)
Today we listened to the Minstrel talking about kaimoana (food from the sea) and how we can ensure it will be there for future generations.
Over the next week we will be sharing some of his special messages with you all.
