Growing Our Te Reo Māori

Learning Te Reo Māori

In 2019, students worked on their mihimihi.  In Whakamanawa, our aim was to build on and add to what akonga already knew.  Fir some, they were able to add their grandparents and siblings.  We revamped our template that we have been using for mihimihi learning and used this as a base for what we need to include.  

Template we use in Te Ara Takitini:

Basic Te Reo Māori Assessment

At the start of the year, to determine what level of Te Reo Māori my students had and what I need to teach them, we did an assessment using basic language.  

I have been working on a package for teaching and learning of Te Ao Māori for the whole school.  This will have teaching outcomes and resources to support teaching and learning.  I will be sharing this with staff in Term two.

• Practise and develop the use of te reo and tikanga Māori.
