Kapa Haka Preformnce

This week we watched a kapa haka group perform for the school.

The first thing that happened was that they did an entrance ceremony and then started to perform. When they entered they used a conch to let the people know they are coming. Then they introduce their weapons and tools during a song and dance.

The last thing LS1 did was play a Maori game called Maui and Matua with Matua Ngarimu. We used the rakau's and we would have to move to the left if they said Maui but if they say Matau we would move right. 

We thanked the kapa haka group by the boys from our kapa haka group performing the haka.

I enjoyed watching this kapa haka performance. My favourite part was when they showed different moves for the Rakau.

Valcanoe Names

Today I completed a task called Auckland Volcanoes. This task was about matching 

First Whaea Odie gathered us in groups to learn how to say thing in Maori. For example listen-Whakarongo and more. 

Next we did a activity called Auckland Valcanoes. This task was about the Valcanoes in Auckland like, Mt Wellington, One tree hill and more.

Lastly we did a activity sheet called the weather. For example sunny means kua whiti te ra, and cloudy would be He kapua.

I liked our session of Maori because I learnt lots of new Maori words.

Te Reo Maori

This week for Maori we learnt how to say different kinds of Maori words. 

First we got answered, 'He aha te ra?,' 'He aha te ra', and 'kei te pehea koe'

The first activity was list of Maori words to translate. After we showed our work we highlighted them blue to show that we got them right. 

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt lots of new Maori words.

LI: to understand the meaning of different Te Reo Maori words.

 

Te Reo Moari

This week for Te Reo Maori we learnt how to say different kinds of words in Maori. 

The first activity I did was parts of the body. For example waist would be hope. This activity was difficult because there were lots of words that I haven't learnt.

Our other activity was matching stuff into the right place. For example hot would be wera and cold would be makariri. This activity was easy because there were lots of words I knew.

Our first session of te reo was amazing because I learnt lots of new words.
