What are we learning?
In Room 3, we're embracing the beauty of Te Reo Māori. We are learning to introduce us with a simple mihi, a traditional greeting, to honour our language and culture. To enhance our learning, we watch engaging videos such as 'Mahi Pai' that help us grasp the language in an interactive way. Additionally, we incorporate daily songs into our routine, making our language lessons both educational and enjoyable for everyone.
