Nau mai haere mai e te whānau.

Tēnā koutou katoa

E ngā mana nui o te rau hīhī
E ngā reo motoi kura o te rau hāhā
Ko ngā huia kaimanawa o te Kura Hato Pāora
Kei ngā whānau katoa
Kei ngā kaiako katoa
Kei te tumuaki me te rōpū rangatira
Kei ngā rōpū whakahaere katoa
Tēnā rā koutou katoa

Ko Rangimarie Fiu tōku ingoa
He Kaiako Whakaako i Te Reo Māori ahau

We have had a great start to implementing Te Reo Māori as an option class for our Year 7-9 students. The Achievement Objectives and Learning Intentions we are focusing on this term are as follows:

1.4 communicate about personal information, such as [their] name, parents’ and grandparents’ names
2.1 communicate about relationships between people

Learning Intentions:

• Recognise, understand, and use familiar words about ourselves and our whānau
• Recognise, understand, and use short phrases about ourselves and our whānau
• Ask and answer simple questions about another person’s whānau

How can I help my child at home:

You can help your child by listening to him as he practises his reo out loud. Repetition of ngā kupu hou (vocabulary) is best learnt when we korero with others. Karawhiua - Give it a go!

Titiro whakamuri kia anga whakamua - Look to the past to inform the future
