This week we have celebrated te wiki o te reo Māori with the theme of "Kia Kaha te reo Māori" this is all about giving the language a go!

This week we have learnt lots of new phrases such as: 

Ka aroha - sorry

Homai te - pass me the (singular)

Homai ngā - pass me the (plural) 

Mā te wā - see you soon

Te reo Māori is a national language of New Zealand and it is so exciting to see our learners growing in confidence to communicate using new kupu. 

On Wednesday we had a whole school hui where we sang waiata, celebrated mihi and whakapapa and shared a legend. 

Following the hui celebration we worked with another studio following a tuakana teina model where older learners taught younger learners new skills and activities.
