Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 27 Hōngongoi – 2 Here-turi-kōkā 2009

July25

Māori Language Week 27 July – 2 August 2009

In my class this week we’re going to be celebrating Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.

We’ve been learning Rona and The Moon as part of our fortnightly Team Kapa Haka. We’re going to base our reading around the story and our poetry this week around the song.

I’m going to share these two videos too:
Pa Mai

E te Ariki
E te Ariki
Whakarongo mai ra ki a matou
E te Ariki
Titiro mai ra ki a matou
Tenei matou
O tamariki
E whakapono ana matou
Ki a koe Aue! Aue!
Te Matua te Tamaiti
Wairua tapu e

I’ve linked the titles to the Youtube videos as I note that the embedded doesn’t translate into Facebook – where my posts are cross-posted.

Adding another one – a fantastic version of Purea Nei.

I am a:

  • teacher
  • mother
  • musician
  • sci-fi fanatic
  • computer geek
  • geocacher
  • blogger
  • wannabe photog
  • …

I have a secret passion – well – maybe not so secret – teaching is not about feeding information into kids brains – it’s about creating a place where kids are inspired, enthused, excited about discovery and learning – so my goal as a teacher is to leave my kids wanting more and having the skills to find out more.

This year I’ve moved up a year level and am enjoying the more sophisticated conversations and explorations that we are having in the classroom. It’s exciting to see kids motivated because our classroom is using 21st Century tools for their everyday teaching and learning.

This blog is really for my reflective practise – about things that have worked (or not worked) in my classroom and to share these with others in my PLN.

I should also mention that I’m a Kiwi living in the North Island of New Zealand (just north of Wellington).
