Ko Te Awe E Maria - Hail Mary

Today for Maori Language My Teacher gave us some slides of people singing Maori songs. I really enjoyed watching them because I like their beat and I also like how the people who sang E Maria harmonised and I enjoyed that. I had to screencastify the Maori Hail Mary while Saying it. Check it out!

TuTawa Mai

Today for R.E or maybe Maori we did this action for a prayer. We learnt this before lockdown so I didn't really think it was hard to do and also because my teacher friend recorded herself doing the actions. Learning the words was pretty hard I still don't know it by heart. But I am pretty sure that I will get it some time. I recorded myself doing the actions to it. I was also saying the words. Check it out!

Ko Wai? Who Is?

Hi Everyone my class and I have been learning a lot of Maori. We also learnt how to ask people who they're mums, dads, sisters, brothers, and grandparents we had to pick a partner so we could talk to each other to ask each other who their families are I chose Ana because she would be easy because I am her cousin. Learning the Māori words because I would get confused on which one is which.

Moala Tahuna Torea Mind flow

WALT: allow our inner response to flow and be captured in words form.

Last Week as you should remember my class and I went on a trip to Tahuna Torea with Glen Innes kids. My class and I sat on the mat, my teach reminded us about all the things that happened during that they with every little detail. In our head we were imagining what was happening so we were taking ourselves back to the trip. Here is mt activity!!

The Māori Alphabet

Today for Te Reo Māori we were learning the Māori Alphabet we also were playing a game called Memrise Memrise is about a game you can learn any language on. Today the language we were focusing about is Maori. I was keeping it simple by only memorising introduction. It was really easy!

This was the amazing moment I was first on the leaderboard!

Here is my activity about the Maori Alphabet!

Moala Lesson 1 - Oropūare and Orokati (Vowels and Consonants).

 Today for Maori we were learning about The Māori Language, vowels, consonants. The Māori alphabet is made up with eight consonants, five vowels and two digraphs. In Māori when there is a tohu tu (macron, hat) you have to drag the word like ngaaa. There is also a song that relates to Orokati Consonants (the letters that aren't in the vowels).

Example: keke with no macrons means cake, and kēkē with macrons mean armpit.

Here is the lyrics (not really lyrics).

Video of the song

Moala - How Maui Slowed the Sun/Weaving Paper and Drawing

On the 14th of April my class and I were about to go to The Ki O Rahi Tournament unfortunately it started raining so we hopped back on the bus and went back to school. My teacher (Ms. Nees-Kairua) decided to know how How Maui slowed the sun after knowing how Maui slowed the sun. Palu used the grinder and grind the paper into stripes we used it to weave the paper. Here is a video. After weaving the paper Ms. Nees gave us different parts of the story and drew our part! We first drew it in pencil lightly then used vivid to out line it. 

Here are the results I used Orange and White!
