Ko Wai Ia?

LI: To learn about the Royal family and their family generations.

For this week’s Te Reo Maori lesson, we learnt about the Royal family tree and who the members of the family are. We also looked at the family tree and labeled each member by translating it from Māori to English. One of the family member’s name is Prince George and in Maori it is Pirinihi Hori.

I found this activity interesting because I got to learn more about the Royal family.

Te Reo Maori

I learned phrase called “homai”. “homai” means pass me something. 

First we said homai to another person and the other person said anei. We practise using numbers with cards but it is Maori numbers.

Next I said homai to another person then they will get the number of cards I want.

Last I got the cards the other person needed. As soon as I give the cards I say anei.

I enjoyed this activity because I learned new words. I need to improve on saying anei in maori. I did well on saying homai in Maori.

Te reo Maori

I learned new maori words.

First we practise numbers with cards but it is Maori numbers.

Then we practised saying the word for the maori number.

Next I practised saying the Maori word for numbers to 10. For example, ono. The word ono is six.

Last I practised adding two numbers all together in maori. For example, tekau ma rua. Tekua is ten and ma rau is the second number which means rua is two.

I enjoyed this activity because I learned new words. I need to improve on adding up two numbers together in maori. I did well on saying my numbers to 10.
