Strategies for revitalisation in your kainga, whānau, kura, hapori:

Hākina
Matariki events
Maramataka - live it ia rā ia rā
Mahi mara - Garden to tēpu
Share kēmu me waiata on youtube - so not lost

What is our kura doing to engage our tamriki in te Reo Māori:

Tikanga - daily whole kura karakia, waiata, mihi, pēpeha - could add kīwaha me whakatauki

Our tamariki are kaihautū leaders/tuākana so see each other as speakers - it's cool to kōrero Māori

Whole kura kapahaka

Opportunities for haerenga ki kaupapa Māori hui/wananga etc

Te Reo Whakamihi

Formal mihi 

Order:

Atua - 

Kingitanga - e mihi ana ki te whare Pōtatou

Mate -

Tangata ora - rōpū

Kaupapa

kaikarakia                kaumatua                 Tamariki                    Ringawera

Pao - mihi ki te ringawera

Who it's to - their mahi, who it benefits

E mihi ana ki a koe Hakopa i tō karakia o te pō nei

E mihi ana ki a koutou i o mahi whakaako

kia kaha tonu ki ngā mahi

E mihi ana ki a koe Whaea, i tō āwhina/whakaako/arahi, i ngā mahi kapahaka, ki a mātou.

Adding the metaphor for the tangata you are acknowledging.

Hugely important i roto i te reo Māori to acknowledge the person who performs karakia on behalf of everybody.

Tēna koe e te amorangi (kaikarakia)

Nāu nei (it was you)  te rā i whaka-tūwhera

Mōu hoki (you also) i tuitui i a tātou ki te wahi ngaro

Kei te manu ariki - kia tau te rongomaiwhiti (uniqueness) ki runga ki a tātou katoa

(E te Manu Ariki, e mihi ana ki a koe, i tō karakia, whakatūwhera tēnei hui ) my practise rerenga

 Whakaniko - strengthen with metaphor

Te Ahu o Te Reo Māori - Te Rekamauroa Ki Tainui

For term 1 2023 I am excited to take part in Te Rekamauroa to further my reo and tīkanga Māori with the intention of bringing this matauranga to my teaching practise. 

My "why" for learning te reo Māori is that we live in a Māori nation and I believe we should all be speaking te reo o te whenua. As a kaiako it is my responsibility to teach te reo me tīkanga Māori, and share matauranga so all my akonga will be enabled to whanake / grow and participate in te ao Māori.

Reflections and learning from our kura whakahihiri.

Learn more about the Kingitanga as it is of significance here in the Hauraki and part of our history in Aotearoa. 

Tainui Iwi: Pare Hauraki, Maniapoto,

Kupu hou:

whakahihiri / invigorate

Pouako - kaiako

Pakeke - adult

Pēpeha evolve over the years and you may take some time to settle on yours. Consider have you experienced the wahi/wai you include in your pēpeha. Consider adding a taniwha to embellish your kōrero.

Strategies to whakahihiri te reo Māori kei roto i te ruma ako.

The long-standing tradition of growing your own food can have a positive impact on the health of people, as well as the environment. This activity encourages children, young people and their whānau to think about why we might want to grow our own food, and how we can all do this.

To make this more relevant and rewarding, we suggest using plants that will grow relatively quickly – and ones that are most likely to be considered delicious!

Suggested activity

• Discuss why and how people grow food for themselves, and what the impact of this is on the local environment – from growing, to eating, to composting. You could also discuss the transportation and storage of food, versus eating locally grown and seasonal produce, and whether big or small gardens are more productive.

• Investigate what types of fruit and vegetables would be suitable to grow in your local area, and what time of year to plant each of them. The Maramataka (Māori lunar calendar) is a useful tool, as well as information about weather patterns.

• Create your own garden, in your backyard or in pots, or look for a community garden in your local area that you can contribute to. If there isn’t an existing community garden in your area, you could talk to people in your community about whether you could help to set one up.

• Record the planting, growth, and harvesting of your fruit and vegetables. You could do this by taking a series of photos, drawing pictures, or writing a story. You could also make a poster about the benefits of māra kai, or create a menu based on the fruit and vegetables you have planted.

• Share your māra kai with others – you could invite your friends and whānau to eat a meal based on “in season” food you have grown.

Tīkanga - karakia mo mātau mahi māra

From Carterton Kindergarten Website

Mana whenua - Te Paeroa-a-Toi Thames / Coromandel

Marutūahu = Ngāti Rongoū, Ngāti Tamaterā, Ngāti Whanaunga, Ngāti Maru and Ngāti Pāoa.

They are all located in the Hauraki region, and trace their descent from a common ancestor, Marutūahu. Marutūahu’s forebears came to New Zealand on the Tainui waka.

Hauraki itself means the north-west wind, which brought many raiding parties to the region

Mercury Bay: Te Whanganui-a-Hei (the great harbour of Hei)

Hauraki Gulf: Tīkapa Moana (an allusion to ceremonies designed to protect Tainui and Te Arawa tribes, which took place at a small island off Cape Colville known as Tīkapa or Takapū, which means gannet).

Te Reo - Kura Pō

This term I have attended Kura Pō night classes to advance my reo Māori and understanding of tikanga Māori. The course was 10 weeks long with 3 hour sessions every Wednesday. I have gained more confidence using te reo Māori in the classroom with my tauira (students). I have learned about local history from Ngati Whatua. I would also like to introduce more tikanga into my classroom - such as karakia for the start/end of the day and to bless our kai. I learned waiata that can be used in my classroom. I will consider attending the level 3 course next term. Link to course info.
