Te wiki o te reo maori - maori language week


As part of maori language week I will be sending a word of the day out to classes. I hope to encourage classroom teachers to introduce these daily words as part of promoting te reo and get te reo happening even in a small way in each class at this school.
It has been great to have the support of staff and parents and we have been lucky enough to get hold of some posters and resources promoting te reo for each class. A big mihi to Mrs Hart, her Room 1 helpers and Atarau's whanau for helping with this.
There is also a maori book display in the library which is great to see, well done Ms Forrest.
Below are some useful links to resources you can use to help learn te reo. Teachers and students can click on these to help get te reo going!

Kupu o te ra - Word of the day

Register and get sent a word of the day. It gives you an explanation and sentence to show meaning. You can refine the word so it’s put in a context eg marae words (Browse Nga Kupu)
