Waiata

New Zealand National Anthem.

Because it is sung in our Maori language  and then translated into english. The song is about love for god and one another and our Free land.

Pepeha

Ko Puhanga te Maunga

Ko Taheke te Awa

Ko Ngatokimatawhaurua te Waka

Ko Rahiri te tupuna

Ko Ngapuhi te iwi

Ko Ngatipakau te Hapu

Ko Tahekeroa te Marae

Ko Rahera raua ko Rewi oku Matua

Ko Tekawana toku Ingoa

(Iand of the long white cloud)

Dear Moko,

I am leaving  today with my family on a waka . We have packed all our belongings in our waka and ready to leave. I am very excited as this is a new adventure for  me and my sisters, but in saying that i am also afraid as i do not know what is waiting for us at the end of our journey. I am gonna miss you my friend but my nanna said we are gonna be happy in our new land given to us by our tupuna, the sea is getting rough, time for me to sign off until next time I write .

Your friend

Te Kawana

For the summer learning journey I have to write 3 facts about Maui and the giant fish

Maui and the giant fish.

• Maui had weaved a fishing line out of flax and did an old karakia to give his line strength.

• Maui’s ancestor Murirangawhenua had given him a jawbone to use as a hook.

• 
  Maui had punched himself hard on the nose to make it bleed using his blood for bait to catch a fish.

• Murirangawhenua had gifted his people a giant fish to live on.

• Maui’s giant fish was known as the north island of aotearoa and Maui’s waka is known as the south island.

summer learning journey

Today we did a practice activity for the Summer Learning Journey.

First we read the story Maui and the Giant Fish.

Then we wrote 3 facts we learned from the story.

Here are my facts:

• Maui’s ancestor  Murirangawhenua had given him a jawbone maui used the jawbone as the fishing hook.

• Maui hid in the bottom of the boat to go fishing with his brothers.

• The fish Maui pulled up from the sea is known as the North Island and Maui's waka is known as the South Island.

The thing that I found challenging was knowing what to do because I just came back from doing messages.

The thing I will do differently is ask people for help.  

Taku whānau

Kia ora. Ko Te Kawana au.

Ko Wana taku koro. Ko Bernadine taku kuia. Ko Racheal taku māmā. Ko Hinerangi taku tuahine. Ko Alyssa taku tuahine. Ko Tanekaha aku teina.

WALT specify who someone is and what their relationship is to you.

What I found challenging was what we did about the papas and nanas on the other side of the family.

What I found easy was doing my mums side.

WALT create a rewindable learning resource to help us pronounce words in te reo

Apple	Eagle	Fish	Run	Rain	Horse	Scissors
Bird	Nurse	Pig	Rabbit	Tiger	Wool	Snail

Make a copy: go to file, click on make a copy.

Rename it: put your name in the title.

Put it in your te reo folder.

Use audioboom to record yourself saying the maori word for each picture.

WALT communicate about ourselves by saying our Pepeha
