For this Maori lesson, we learnt the phrase " He aha te taima?" which translates to "What is the time?" and how to respond to it. It was pretty easy too!

For Maori, we learnt a new group of words in te reo. We learnt number up to 100. It was pretty easy as I learnt the maori numbers when I was young. 

Enjoy!

THE MOMENT - Maori Language Week

On September 14 1972, there was a petition signed from many new zealanders. It was a protest to let them speak the maori language freely. And to save the maori language from dying and being forgotten.

Back then, people weren't allowed to speak their own native language especially Te Reo Maori. Not speaking your language will make it easier for you to forget your language. The next generations will grow up with english as their first language and not knowing our cultural language. Your native language will slowly die and be forgotten if we don't speak it!

On the same day, the same hour, New Zealand is celebrating this wonderful event. At Point England, we are suporting New Zealand by standing and singing a few waiatas. We sang a few songs to celebrate and show that we care about Te Reo Maori!

Happy Maori Language Week! 

What day is this? - Te Reo Maori 2020

Task Description
For maori, we learnt the days and months in maori. Our maori teacher for this week was Whaea Kelly. We learnt the 12 months and the 7 days in te reo maori. We then completed the follow-up tasks. Our create task was to have a conversation and ask a question "When is your birthday?" in maori and reply in maori saying your birth month. I made a comic strip for this simple task.
