Mahuru Māori

Jo Earl —

September is Māori Language Month.

Te Wiki o te reo Māori is 12-16 Mahuru. We will be celebrating Te wiki o te reo Māori at our kura and will share these celebrations with you.

This week we have all been learning to use phrases about location.

Kei hea te kurī? Where is the dog?

Kei roto te kurī i te whare kurī.

The dog is in the doghouse.

The tamariki have been learning kupu hou that they can use to describe where things are located.

under - raro

on - runga

in - roto

outside - waho

Here is a video to help you catch up with your child's learning! You will be able to have a short conversation in Māori. Karawhuia! Give it a go!
