*Enrolling now for Term 4, 2024- Beginning 14th of October!*
This 8-week course is for learners who have little or no experience in Te reo Māori. This
fun and interactive course will cover a lot in a short amount of time. Learners will gain the
key language structures to share and discuss the places where they have lived and grown
up. They will also learn how to speak about daily activities and states of being. We also
look at pronouns and practise structures around identifying objects and moving objects
around.
In every class, learners carry out a variety of activities that engage different senses and
encourage teamwork. We learn new vocabulary and sentence structures using a co-
creation process that relies on actions and gestures. How much new content we cover
week to week will be matched to the ability of those in class. There will be karakia, games,
waiata and conversations about how the topic content ties in with concepts of tikanga and
Te Ao Māori.
He aha te kai ā te rangatira, he kōrero, he kōrero, he kōrero.
–This whakataukī speaks to the value of communication. What is the food of our greatest
leaders, it is well executed communication. When we communicate well, we give life to the
rangatira within.
