Kia Ora Weka Class,
What an exciting week we have had!
I have really enjoyed learning aspects of Maori Language with you.
My highlight has been learning and taking part in the hangi process.
Digging the pit, heading to school at 6:00am to light the crates, moving the hot irons, packing the food parcels into the basket, lining the basket with cabbage leaves, sealing the basket with soaked sheets and sacks and then finally lowering the kai into the pit (and trying not to fall in!)
Enjoying the kai at the end was also great.
- I would like you to share your highlights from Maori Language week by posting your comments below.
- I also would like to hear some ideas from you about how we can continue to grow our experiences from Maori Language week. What could we start doing or continue doing in class? I am really keen to improve our Te Reo speaking and look forward to hearing from you.
Mr Douglas.

Hi Weka
ReplyDeleteI think Maori Language week was awesome!
I really liked watching the process of the Hangi and then finally eating the kai.
I liked doing rako it was one of my faviourite activities we did.
I also liked doing all the art and doing weaving it was awesome!
It was interesting learning about matariki and Maui and the great fish.

Hi Weka
ReplyDeleteMy highlight of the week was the Hangi. It tasted really good and I got full at the end. I haven't had a hangi before.
Connor and I did the Rako together and I got a bit confused. But I got used to it in the end. It was really fun and I would like to do it again and I hope next year when we get to do Rako we will get to do alot more.
The whole school learnt the Haka with the actions and the speaking. And if you want to do it in front of your opponent you have to look scary.
I made a Angel fish when we did weaving, it was pretty hard at first but really fun.
See ya Weka

Hi Weka!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Maori language week!!Watching and eating the hangi was EPIC, and it was realy interesting to learn the english translation of the haka!!!I also liked the rako-it was fun and hard at the same time!!
I would really like to continue learning Te Reo Maori-maybe we could try and speak and learn some Maori in class?Then when everyone had learnt some words we could have a competition!!
See you tomorow!!
