“Our Māori Language Moment will take place at   12pm on Monday the 14 th   September 2020 . This marks the day and the hour in 1972 when a group of Māori language champions presented a petition on the steps of parliament calling for te reo to be taught in our schools." We all decided to sing a waiata outside our hubs on both the Monday and Thursday to different waiata.

 The Year 2s have been learning our Pepeha, which included a greeting and their parents names. We decided to make a family tree to show that it is about making conections with others.

 For poetry, Pukeko Sim have read 'The Rainbow Man. They have been trying to learn the kupu for each colour everyday this week and created a picture. Peyton was also excited to tell us about her pens and that each pen had the kupu on them.

 Pukekeo learnt the actions to Head, Sholders, Knees and Toes in Te Reo as part of Māori Language Week.
