maori+language+week+celebrations+2014

To celebrate maori language week for 2014 during the week of 21/25th July we created some mahi with the Tamariki. We had conversations during our group times and they shared the words they know in Te Reo Maori. The teachers offered resources and books to prompt these conversations and we decided to form our own Parakai Kindergarten dictionary. we were surprised and very proud to see how knowledgeable our children are with this beautiful language of Aotearoa. Thank you Tamariki for being so very clever and learning a second language here with us.
