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:

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.
