Maori Language Week 2014

This week the children have rotated around several of the Junior classrooms, where they have been introduced to new words and thinking in Te Reo.

They learnt how to sing Happy Birthday in Maori.

They also made a gorgeous head bands


We are so fortunate to have a beautiful language that is ours and ours alone. The children have embraced learning new words, and following instructions in Te Reo. We are going to continue learning a word a week so that by the end of the year we have a fantastic bank of learning.
