Hei Tīmata: Monday night beginners Te Reo Māori

*Enrolling now for Term 3, 2024- Beginning 29th of July!*

This 8 week course is for learners who have little or no experience in Te reo Māori. This fun and

interactive course will cover a lot in a short amount of time. Learners will gain the key language

structures to share and discuss the places where they have lived and grown up. They will also

learn how to speak about daily activities and states of being. We also look at pronouns and

practice structures around identifying objects and moving around objects.

In every class, learners carry out a variety of activities that engage different senses and

encourage teamwork. We learn new vocabulary and sentence structures using a co-creation

process that relies on actions and gestures. How much new content we cover week to week will

be matched to the ability of those in class. There will be karakia, games, waiata and

conversations about how the topic content ties in with concepts of tikanga and Te Ao Māori.

He aha te kai ā te rangatira, he kōrero, he kōrero, he kōrero.

-This whakataukī speaks to the value of communication. What is the food of our greatest leaders, it is well

executed communication. When we communicate well, we give life to the rangatira within.
