Whaea Trish - Maori

Anare led our karakia this morning.

Karakia Kia

E tou matou Atua

Anei matou karakia

Whakapaingia enei kao

Hei oranga mo nga tinana

Whangai hoki nga wairua

I roto I tou Ingoa

Amine

We revisited the Maori vowels - A E I O U

Here are some of the Maori words we have collected this week:

Arewhana - elephant.

Homai te pakipaki - give someone a clap

Whangarei - we practised pronouncing this correctly.

Tauranga - we practised pronouncing this correctly. (Tow - ra - nga)

Kaupapa

Kia Kaha - Be strong

We practised saying the double vowel sounds:

ai, oa, ua, ia, ea, ui 

Some of us found them quite tricky to say. 

We practised saying these with Whaea Trish.
