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.

Sam Jones The Pukeko Hub has had a great start to Term 2! Last week, we got straight back into our learning by spending our afternoons creating our visual pepehas. As part of this, we drew pictures of our parents - matua and whaea, our home - Ōtautahi, and korus to decorate. We are now learning and practicing how to say our pepehas confidently and clearly to others. Make sure to keep a look out for our pepeha art next time you're in the Pukeko Hub.

This term Pukeko have been working on their Pepeha. We have created a visual Pepeha incorporates their mountain and river. In our hub we have created two different types. Boyce and Sim created a textured artwork with pastel and dye. Calvert and Smith created a sketch with pastel and dye. Students are at their beginning stages of learning their pepeha. They will continue to learn and practice their Pepeha next term.
