Te Reo Maori - Professional development workshop with Whaea Gloria
8th May 2015
Prior to saying your mihi, include a whakatauki and a greeting to the kaikarakia and kaiwaiata as well as the others in the room.
Mihi - do what you know. If you don’t know or don’t have a tribe, say your family name.
Waiata after every Mihi and close with “No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa.”
With the Maori language, begin by teaching key words. This can enable children to identify the key points and build the sentence or translation around the words they know.
Should be speaking Maori everyday.
Can use Maori during phonics. For example, “Tena Koe Eramia. Ka timata tona ingoa i te E. Orite ki nga kupu eat each and egg.”
He Reo Tupu, He Reo Ora resource is very useful. Includes all the information needed to teach various unit plans. Also includes resources and is available online in TKI.
Be sure to use “E pehea ana koe” rather than “Kei te pehea koe” in Ngapuhi territory.
When responding use “E ________ ana ahau (I am ______).”
When saying number “11” in te reo Maori, you must say “Kotahi tekau ma…” otherwise you could be meaning “101” which could be “tekau ma tahi (one ten and one one).”
Karetao - puppets that were used years ago. Can make with the children using mdf (soft wood). Songs accompany the movements made when using Karetao.
Noughts and crosses game: vocabulary challenge. Winner chooses a place for a nought or cross.
Vocab - raro, waenganui, roto, maui, matau, runga.
Aspects to try and include in the classroom:
- Continue use of He Reo Tupu resource
- Create mihi / pepeha
- Remember tip about the number 11
- Make sure to use Ngapuhi reo
