Term 2 Te Reo Māori Focus

Term 2 Te Reo Māori Focus - Pepehā

Kia ora Marshland whānau,

This term all tamariki will be learning, building on, and practising their pepehā.

A pepehā is a way of introducing ourselves in te reo Māori. To introduce ourselves we should tell the story of how we arrived here, and the story does not start with ourselves!!!

Here is an example of Jacqui, Riki, Taryn and I giving our pepehā - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cWNmoB_ltYAnQFuawsgMBl8Ok6vBlYoVI5pi6c0iyK8/edit?usp=sharing

Please encourage your tamariki to recite their pepehā to you.

Māori@Marshland - Kupu for Term Toru

Welcome back to Term 3! This term we will be focusing on colours and items of clothing. Hopefully after a few weeks you will be able to mix and match the colours and the items of clothing.

Māori@Marshland - Kiwi

Cecile Lyon In the kiwi hub we read the legend of 'Maui and the sun'. We imagined we were Maui catching the sun and created these Art works. For Matariki we made kites that were inspired by the book 'The seven kites of Matariki'.

Māori@Marshland - Toroa

By Bex Osborn In Toroa we delved further into understanding the importance of representing who we are, where we come from and the stories we can tell. Ta moko is a traditional facial tattoo that shows about our whanau and where we have come from. The students looked into the meaning of various shapes in Maori culture and linked this back to their whanau and culture and created their own Ta moko.
