Kitchen items

We did an activty about kitchen iteams. 

I found 6 photos of kitchen iteams and labled the engilish words for the kitchen iteams. 

Then I used used the maori dictionary to help with the maori words for the kitchen iteams. 

I enjoyed this activty beacause I learnt lots of maori words for kitchen iteams. 

Passing

 I learnt how to tell people to pass an object to the left. 

The first thing I did was revising the words that I learnt for the pass few weeks which was tenei, tena, tera. which means next to me, near me, and way over there. 

The last thing I did  learnt how to tell someone to pass an obeject to the left.  Which was hoatu te (obeject) ki te taha maui. 

 This was hard beacause I got mixed up with the Maori words. 

Prepositions

 I learnt about prepoitions. 

The prepoitions that I used for by me was tenei.

 The secound prepoition I used for there was tena. 

The last prepoition I used for way over there was tera. 

These prepoitions can help me beacause they are an easier way of saying way over there, by me, and there.

Maori

I learnt how to ask questions in maori that can help me in class. 

The first question that I learnt was Kua marama which means (Do you understand)

The secound question I learnt was Kua mutu which means ( I'm finished )

Then we moved on to asking other questions like whats your name and whats his or hers  name. 

These questions were hard to remember so I need to pratice those questions so I remember them and ask someone these questions.  

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting. 

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitant).

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects to the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used. 

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oki tipuna (ancestor place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker. 

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed. It is important to end with warm welcome so the visitors know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together. 

       

Volcanoes Names

 I did an activity that was based around translating the English names of volcanoes around Auckland to Te Reo Maori. 

 First I searched up the Maori names on the Maori dictionary 

 The second thing I did was matching the Maori names with the right volcanoes. 

Lastly I checked my names and I got them right. 

Here is my volcano names doc.

Next I checked my Maori names.
