Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2023

Katherine Stewart —

Celebrate Māori language week with some new kupu!

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori takes another leap forward in the Māori language movement across Aotearoa. 

Get involved in online connections and activities with Kōtui Ako VLN as they celebrate Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori & Mahuru Māori!

This year the theme of Kia Kaha, being strong in your commitment to learning and using te Reo anywhere you can, is continued.  

As ever, there are new kupu to learn and use this year.

Here are five new words to integrate into the technology lexicon:

1. Internet of Things (IoT) Whakaipurangi i te Ao

2. Wi-Fi Wae-Whai

3. Code Tuhitohutohu

4. Keyboard Papapato

5. Streaming Pāho Takitahi

Have a look here for more ideas to celebrate the upcoming week, from waiata playlists, to practicing your mihi; there are plenty of activities you and your ākonga can do together.
