Maori

 For Maori we researched Maori places in the North Island to know the meaning of that word.

We did the same activity from last week's work. Some words that we found out the meaning is:

Paeroa - Long ridge, Whangaroa - Long harbour and lastly Matamata - Headland.

I enjoyed the work we did this week for Maori. I enjoyed it because I like finding the meaning of the Maori places.

Maori Performance

 We watched a performance that was did by a Kapa Haka group. 

The first thing that happened was them doing an entrance ceremoney. They used a conch to let the people notice them coming in. The Kapa Haka group introduced three weapons then they used in a dance.

After that Kapa Haka group finshed doing the haka the our school Kapa Haka group did the haka. After all that we played a game called Matau-Maui. There is more information about Matau-Maui.

I enjoyed the performance and my favourite part was the part when the two groups did the haka.

Maori Names

 Today we matched Maori names with English names. For example: Raniera - Daniel and Maaka - Mark. We couldn't use Maori dictionary this time. 

The first activty we did was Maori names. There are some letters that are not in the Maori alphabet. J is H, D is t, D and L is r, and V is W.

The next activity we did was Maori conversations. There was a Maori sentence and we had to translate it into English. For example: Kei te haere au ki te kāinga o Mr Smith i tēnei rā, - I’m going to Mr Smith’s home today,

Nō reira, kia ora koutou katoa. - So, congratulations to you all.

I learnt new names today in Maori and enjoyed these two activites. I enjoyed those two activities because it helped me know different names in maori. 

Maori - Auckland Volcanoes

We learnt about Auckland volcanoes and weathers in Maori.

To start off we had to match the English Auckland Volcanoe names with Maori.  For example: 

Mt Smart is Rarotonga and Mt Eden is Maungawhau. These volcanoes are probably all extinct volcanoes.

The next task was about weathers in Maori. There was different options and we had try to get the correct answers. There was some I already knew.

Now I know what Auckland Volcanes are in Maori is.

For Maori we translated names of people. We had to learn the maori alphabet. If a name starts with an S or J in Maori it will be an H. If it If a name starts with a B into Maori it will start with an P. Lastly if a name starts with V in Maori it will be a W. There are more letters that are not in the maori alphabet. 

For example: Timothy - Timoti and Nicholas - Nikora.

Maori - Te tinana

 For maori this week we learnt body parts. We had to match the maori body part into the english body part. We had to highlight the ones we knew and left the the ones that we searched up blank. For example:(arero - tongue).

The story was about that there were three bags.In each bag it had elements

• Hinatore-Is another star.

In the story there is a person called Tane.He had the three bags.

He was doing a haka and he kicked the stars and it scattered.
So they put the stars up and it remained darkness.When they put
