Revising

I revised who is my friend, who is my teacher, who is my mum, and who is my dad. Ko wai to hoa? Ko wai o mahita? Ko wai to mama? Ko wai to papa?

First I revised some questions.

Next I answered new questions.

Then I wrote the name of the 3 things. For example There is 1 picture and I have to write the object name in maori.

Lastly I played a memory game. The rules for the memory game is you have to find a matching picture and say the word of matching picture in maori.

I enjoyed this activity because I revised the question I already answered.

Translating Names

I translated Maori names with English names.

First I translated the Maori name and the English name.

Next I wrote Maori names with the colour brown, green, black, and white.

Then I wrote the English lettters that the maori alphabet doesn't have.  

Lastly I translated my name to a maori name. That is Bethany into Pethany.

I think I need more practise because I struggled with translating the Maori names with the English name.

Maori Directions & Kitchen Labels

 I learned how to say kitchen tools in maori.

I learned how to say Kei hea te pene rakau? That means where is the pencil.

I also learned how to say Kei raro i te tepu? Which means the pencil is under the table.

I enjoyed this activity because I learned how to say new words in maori.

Passing

 I learned how to tell people to pass something in maori.

First I revised tenei, tena, and tera.

Next I learned a new structure, which is "Hoatu te . . . ki te taha maui". That means "pass ... to your left".

I think I need to practice more because I stuggle with the Hoatu te.

Maori preposition

 I learned about Maori preposition.

First preposition is tenei that means here.

The next preosition is tena that means there.

The last preposition is tera that means over there.

I enjoy this task because I learned more about Maori preposition.

Country name in maori

I learned question that will help me in the class room.

First I learned kua mutu and that means finished.

Next I learned awhina mai koa which means can you help me please.

Lastly I had to sort the country and find the moari way of the countrys name.

I need to practise reading more maori words.

 

Mihi Whakatau

Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting. 

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitant).

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects to the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used. 

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku tipuna (ancestor place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker. 

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed. It is important to end with warm welcome so the visitors know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together.
