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

Pā Wars / Kēmu
Kapa Haka - Matatini
Hākina
Matariki events
Maramataka - live it ia rā ia rā
Mahi mara - Garden to tēpu
Share kēmu me waiata on youtube - so not lost

Marae hoki - sites of significance

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.

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.

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

Educational Psychologist Nathan Wallis - Advice to families during lockdown. Resources put together by colleague Amina Davis.

Some of our whānau would have heard about one of New Zealand’s well-known educational expert NATHAN WALLIS or have been to his brain development seminars. We believe that his knowledge and research is invaluable and at this crucial time would benefit our whanau to connect with their family members.

A bit of background about him:

Nathan Wallis is an ex-university lecturer in human development and a specialist in neuroscience. He has a background as a child and family therapist, primary school and early childhood teacher. He has served in the past as lead trainer and board member for Brainwave Trust – which disseminates neuroscientific research findings.

Nathan is currently Managing Director of X Factor Education and works in New Zealand and Australia training professionals and parents in the application of neuroscience. As well as his own three children, Nathan has a history with, and a passion for foster children.

Here’s some of his YOUTUBE video links that maybe useful for your family during the COVID-19 LOCKDOWN. There’s also one of his Q & A links that may answer some of your questions.

How am I connecting with whānau and colleagues?

Creating online learning tool website for families with the purpose of sharing media content we use at the centre. Children can make home - school connections. Gives families ideas of educational content available online. TECEC - Online Learning website link

Communication with whānau through the Thames early Childhood Centre Facebook page. Sharing ideas for playbased / educational activities that families can do at home. Encouraging participation and interaction with our page. Also support and feedback to other colleagues providing learning content on our FB page. TECEC FB Page Link

Educa - contributing Learning Stories using Educa. Feedback from parents and colleagues. I have only begun to use Educa this year since starting at TECEC. I've used the opportunity of working from home to really familiarise myself with Educa and the Learning Story format of monitoring/reporting on learning progressions. I'm taking time to read the previous Learning Stories of our tamariki, thus understanding the interests and needs of my learners more. Extensive reading of learning stories written by my colleagues is helping upskill my knowledge of Te Whariki Principals, Learning Dispositions, Schema/Working Theories and stages/needs of my learners. Example of Learning Story Educa
