This week we will be focusing on getting to know each other, setting goals, making plans and creating routines.

Tuatahi: Click on this link and sign up for kupu o te rā.  this means a new kupu Māori will come to your inbox each day.  This is what you will come into class and begin doing every class.  Before anything else.  you will write the word in your pukapuka Māori in Māori and English and then you will add in the sentence that it give you, along with listening to the pronunciation of the word.  It will then be your challenge to use that word as much as possible for the rest of the day.

Goal: increase our vocabulary one word at a time!

Tuarua: 

Returning students:

E parakitihi ana koutou i tō mihimihi/pepeha.  Practise your pepeha and mihi.  Take it home and see if your whānau have any more details for you to add in.  Choose a whakataukī to add in.  if you had one last year, choose a different one - this is a good way to grow the different ways you can introduce yourself.  Think about using a different beginning too. Email Whaea Kylie your updated mihimihi.

New Students: For some of our students, this will be new.  We will help them to create a visual mihimihi and add in their pepeha.  This is an opportunity for all student to develop a visual mihi for our wall in the whare.  Work with Whaea Kylie and make a copy of the slideshow beneath.

Goal: Create a mihimihi with a visual   OR Enhance your mihimihi by making it more complex.

Tuatoru:
