Tānerore | Summer Learning Journey

For the Summer Learning Journey, I did an activity called "What are you doing".

First, I listened to an audio where a man asks a question in Maori. After listening to this, I rearrangement the mixed up words to their right place so that they would make sense.

The question that was asked was "What are you doing today" and my answer was "I am going to....". 

I found this task quite enjoyable since I could learn some parts of Maori

Maori Names

This week for Maori I translated Maori names of people into English names.

I matched the Maori names into the English names.  I matched the names that sounded like each other. 

Later, I searched the names onto the Maori Dictionary to check if they were correct. 

I enjoyed matching the English names into the Maori names because the ones that I didn't know I could learn from.

Tahi | Maori

This week, our session with Whaea Odie was based around translating Maori names into English.

First, I went down to the mat with Whaea Odie.  We learnt the names in maori about in front, behind, left and right 

Then, I used the maori dictionary to translate the maori names and to also find out what they were, then I wrote the names in the right boxes.

When I finished the Maori names I went back down with Whaea Odie to mark all if they were right.

Word Translations | Maori

This week, our session with Whaea Odie was based around translating Te Reo into English.

First, we looked at the meanings of: roto, waho, raro, mua, and muri.  Roto means in, waho means out.  Runga means above, raro means below, mua means forward and muri means backward

Next, we were given a list of words in Te Reo Maori to translate back into english.  There were 17 words to translate in.

After that, we did one more list that included the names of places in Te Reo Maori and words relating to sea or ocean.  We translated all of these.

I enjoyed this lesson with Whaea Odie because I learnt new.

Kupu | Maori

This week, our session with Whaea Odie was practising different Maori words. 

First, we answered the questions: 'He aha te ra', 'He aha te huarere' and 'Kei te pehea koe'.

Next,  we were given a list of Maori words to translate.  Once we checked the answers, we highlighted them to show that we got them right.

I enjoyed this task, and found it easy to learn new words.

Maori

In Maori we were making a number chart in Te Reo Maori, we were also answering questions for our daily routine.

The number chart had numbers up to one hundred. One in Maori is, tahi and one hundred in Maori is, kotahi rau.

To write numbers in Maori first you need to write whatever number that is the tens. For example, if I want to write the number 74. First I need to find the number in Maori 7 is 'whitu' in Maori. Then you need to write 'tekau' after whitu like this: whitu tekau. After that write 'ma' then the one which is 4 in this case. Four in Maori is 'wha'. In the end it should look like: whitu tekau ma wha.

This activity was informative and I learned more of the numbers in Maori.
