Kia ora koutou!
This term, your grade will come from everything you do in class and on Education Perfect. You will collect evidence of your learning in four key skills: Whakarongo (Listening), Pānui (Reading), Tuhituhi (Writing), and Kōrero (Speaking). Sometimes, one task can show more than one skill — for example, listening to a story and then writing sentences about it is both Whakarongo and Tuhituhi.

1. Check-ups (Education Perfect)
These are small activities to practise and show your skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Do them regularly – they help build your progress over time.

2. Learning Log (in the OLE) Learning Log
Your Learning Log is your personal portfolio of learning. Mark your evidence clearly with the four skill headings: Whakarongo (Listening), Pānui (Reading), Tuhituhi (Writing), and Kōrero (Speaking). For each heading, record:

1. Date

2. What you did (e.g. “We listened to Māui and the Sun”)

3. New kupu you learned (e.g. tōmuri, tere)

4. Example (a short sentence or activity you completed)

Example log entries:
📅 14 August – Whakarongo: Listened to Māui and the Sun. Learned kupu hou: tōmuri (late), tere (fast).
📅 14 August – Pānui: Read “E hia/Tokohia” sentences and answered comprehension questions.
📅 15 August – Tuhituhi: Wrote three sentences using kupu from “Māui and the Sun”.
📅 15 August – Kōrero: Practised a short dialogue asking and answering about colours.
📅 15 August – Whakarongo & Tuhituhi: Listened to a classmate read their pepeha, then wrote it down in your own words.

3. Dialogue Performances (from Week 5)
This task is designed to build te reo Māori conversational skills. This will form a significant part of your assessment, including your performance AND your reflections about other group performances.

4. How You’re Marked
You are graded on progress — how much you improve during the term, not just where you started and ended. The more detail and examples you give, the higher your grade will be. All parts of your learning (Education Perfect, Learning Log, Dialogue Performances) count.

Tip: Treat your Learning Log like a treasure chest of your mahi. The more you put in, the more evidence you have of your learning journey.

Noticing – What new kupu or structures did you notice?

Collecting – What language are you collecting today?

Recording – Where did you write it down?

Reviewing – How will you come back to it?

Repeating – When will you use it again?

Recycling – Can you use it in a new context?

Rehearsing – Can you practise it aloud?

Adding cognitive depth – What does it mean? How does it work? What does it connect to?
