Te wiki o Te Reo Māori - Tiwai East

Tiwai East Update!

Kia ora!

This week our students have been celebrating Māori language and culture in many ways. Throughout term 3, we have been learning Māori games such as poi, mau rakau and taiaha. Here are some videos of some of our students playing these games and experimenting with movement:






We completed a fun activity called Poi E eye spy. We watched the 1960's music video for Poi E and tried to find all the words listed. Can you do the same?






Many of our students entered the school Māori language colouring-in competition. Ka pai to everyone who had a go. The winners from our team were Kirsten and Flynn.







Through the term, we've been learning Māori language around "Nga tau" - numbers and the calendar. Our students have created a calendar page for their birth month using te reo Maori. They finished these this week.
