Te Reo is really important to learn as it is our native language. I really want to learn more because I think it is very cool and honours our country.
Did you know that speaking Te Reo used to be banned in some mainstream New Zealand schools? I think that's really sad and I am glad that they aren't like that now and are embracing our culture. One of my favourite things at school is Kapa Haka.
I chose all the things in the slides because they all remind me of summer! What reminds you of summer?
I found it tricky to pronounce some of the words. I had to practice a lot and I hope that I got them all right!
Thank you for reading my blog and here are my flashcards on slides!
Mōrena Kylah!

A massive ka pai for sharing your learning! I learned some new kupu from you this morning! Thank you! Your pronunciations are spot on!!
Learning Te Reo is very important, you are right! Do you learn it at school? I’m currently learning Te Reo but I want to be better! It is a beautiful language isn’t it?
You’re right, Te Reo was banned in mainstream schools in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is very sad. Schools across the country now embrace Te Reo, thankfully! Kapa Haka is a lot of fun, I remember doing it when I was at school!
Hmm, everything you displayed reminds me of raumati (summer)! Along with mereni wai (watermelon)!
Amazing mahi, Kylah! Have a go at today’s activities!
Ngā mihi nui,
Charlotte :)
