This week is Maori Language Week and we are focusing on using Te Reo in the classroom whenever we can. I have set the students (tamariki) the challenge of telling me if I say something in English that I could say in Te Reo. For example, stand up - E tu, or sit down E noho. As usual for a Monday after an exciting weekend I have had to say Turituri! (Be quiet) on several occasions!
When we can we will try and sing some waiata (songs), and we had a chance at Fitness time this morning as we were kept inside by the rain. The tamariki enjoyed singing the song so much that we sang it again at the end of the day and I got the chance to film them singing - we have quite a few performers in our class so I'm looking forward to when we start rehearsing our production acts in a few weeks.
Nga mihi nui
