Māori@Marshland - Tui

By




By Sam Jones

In Tui we have been integrating Te Reo Māori by making it a regular part of our daily routines. When doing the morning roll the children are able to greet their home teacher in Māori. We have been practicing using Morena, Kia Ora and Ata Mārie to do this, After this, we move into our Manawa space where we begin the day together. To signify the team that we are, we stand together and say the school Karakia together.

 Our Tamariki especially love it when we have a birthday in the Hub. This calls for the special birthday boy/girl to stand up in front so we can sing happy birthday to them in Te Reo. Having Mr V as part of the Tui team means that we get to sing some waiata. Here is a video of one of our favourites!

Māori@Marshland - Pukeko

By
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.
