Maori Language Week

 Kia Ora everyone! Kei te pēhea koe?

As you know, it is Maori Language Week. The senior syndicate celebrated by learning some Te Reo Maori. Everyday of the week, we watched a video. We learnt how to properly pronounce the vowels and we learnt many new words in Te Reo. We also listened to different Maori songs in the mornings.  Most of the songs were from the Waiata Anthem album. One of the activities we did was the Maori Comic strip. The whole syndicate made one on a google drawing. We had to have 9 scenes/boxes. There had to be 2 characters and they needed to have a conversation...in Maori!!! If you want to check my comic strip out, click here. 

I really enjoyed this week and all the fun learning we did. It was very fun.

Malo e lelei bloggers!

I hope you guys have had a fabulous week. 2 days ago on Wednesday, the 9th, my class had a basketball session with these 2 men named Mikey and Ronan. The session lasted for 40-50 mins. In the middle block, they did some fun activities with us. 

First, we did a game called Turtle Tag. The taggers would have to tag others. When you get tagged you have to lye on your back with your arms and legs in the air. The only way too get out of that position is if 1 person holds your arms and another person holds your feet. They then gently roll the person over. Next, we did some dribbling. We learnt how to bounce the ball through our legs, bounce it behind ourselves and bounce it side to side with one hand. We also did some practice on other dribbling skills. At the end, we played another game. We stood in a circle and 2 people stood in the middle. 1 person tried getting the ball while the other tried to keep it. Whoever won would stay in the middle and the next person would battle him/her. I really enjoyed doing the basketball session, it was really fun.
