Become confident in using Te Reo Māori in the classroom.With Muriel Pehi from Wigram School
This session was a sharing of Muriel's journey in learning Te Reo Māori and how it has been for her as she has grown up. Muriel is a teacher at Wigram primary and has been there for three years. She spoke highly of the support and genuine caring for Te Reo Māori that her colleagues have and this was evident by the Wigram staff who were there in support of Mureil.This is Muriel's slide she shared:
Attending this session and hearing about Muriel's journey and her openness about it has helped me to reflect on my own journey. I have always wanted to grow my learning and feel confident and comfortable with speaking and concerning in Te Reo Māori. I also want to feel confident when in the classroom and being able to provide a range of levels of learning for students.
My takeaways from this session are:
- To create learning opportunities for myself to develop my learning.
- To create learning tools for students, similar to those in Muriel's slide.
- Speak more Te Reo Māori in different settings.
