Year 10 Te Reo Māori

Nā Maya Tate-Manning —

Tō mātou waimarie hoki, kua tae atu a Matua Bailey ki tō mātou Kāreti mō tētahi wā whakaharatau i te mahi o te kaiako, i ahu mai a Bailey mai i Tauranga Moana, i kuraina a Bailey i Te Wharekura o Mauao. Ko te reo rangatira tana reo matua. I tēnei wiki, kua whakaakohia ngā tauira tau tekau o te akomanga reo Māori e Bailey. Ka ako rātou i te āhua o ētahi o ngā āhei mau rākau.

We are lucky to have Matua Bailey Matoe here for a teacher training placement. Bailey hails from Tauranga Moana where he was a student at Te Wharekura o Mauao. Te reo Māori is Bailey’s first language. This week the year 10 Te Reo Māori class have been taught by Bailey where they are learning the beginning Mau Rākau stances.
