Te Rekamauroa - Te Ahu o te Reo Māori

Te Ahu o te reo Māori - for kaiako and whānau supporting us to teach te reo Māori, tīkanga, matauranga

Whakamarama - explanation.

The long lasting sweetness... The sweetness of the akoranga.

Aboard the Tanui waka the wife of Hotunui brought the rekamauroa kumara with them to Aotearoa.

"E kite ana koutou / koe?" Can you see it?

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.

Ideas for Community Engagement - preschool

Being new to Hauraki it takes time to form connections and discover what community groups are active in this area. Having taken part in kahui ako wānanga during 2022 and groups during my maternity leave I now have some more ideas for community engagement. Bright Smiles Garden Singing Thames Ilam Church Seabird Centre bird hides - conservation week Kauaeranga visitor centre Library visit Talk together sessions with parents - must contact During Covid our retirement village visits have stopped happening - instead we could invite grandparents / lions club etc in for reading days. Transition to school - questionare to parents and new entrant teachers - what skills do you value as mportant for transition to school? Could give ideas - recognise name/ write name count in sequence to 10 / recognise numbers to 5, participate in mat/story times. On returning to mahi I want to extend visits to other primary schools.
