I have just started a course through Te Wananga O Aotearoa called Te Ara Reo Maori. It is a 38 week course covering reo and tikanga and a whole lot of fun!
Notes from last night
Tena koe, tena korua, tena kotou.
Vowel practise - a, e, i, o, u. Short vowels on left (maui) hand (wahine side) and long vowels on right (matou) side (tane).
Practised the vowels as individuals, then as pairs and how the sounds went together, then in 3's.
Game: Played a game with hands moving the vowel on in the circle. Again left hand - short vowel a, e, then next person in the circle changes the direction with i long sound in the next direction.
Game: Kohatu (stone), ika, manu, kauri. Walk around with music. Find a buddy when music stops. Pepa, kutikuti, kohatu. Whoever wins graduates to next character. Kauri go to the side to sing.
He patai taku - I have a question
He patai - Any questions?
Hakina - Breathe in, Haputa - breathe out.
Lots of great kupu and phrases for the classroom!
