Today, I made a counting poster of flashcards to practice the numbers 1 to 10 in Māori.
First, I watched the video to learn the number 1-10 in Te Reo Māori.
Next, I wrote down the numbers in Māori and English.
Then, I found images from the internet that were related to summer and added them to my poster.
The images that I included were ice-cream, coconuts, surfboards, balls, fishes, pineapples, boats, jandels, crabs and seashells.
These pictures reminds me of summer because ice-cream makes me feel refreshed on a hot summer day. Coconuts are fruits that grow in summer season. I really like to eat pineapple during summer. I see lots of surfboards, fishes, crabs, boats, and seashells at the beach. I also wear jandals while playing volleyball.
Lastly, I chose purple as my color for the layout and decorated my poster.
I practised the phrase "E hia nga mia?" and learnt that "E hia" means "how many" and "nga mea" means "the things". When we put them together, we can ask how many things there are.
I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I learnt a new phrase "E hia nga mea" in Māori.
Kia ora Sahil!
ReplyDeleteChris here, from the Summer Learning Journey.
Pai mahi on doing the E hi nga mia Kick Start activity! Tēnā koe for explaining the steps you took in completing this task. As usual, you’ve done a great job going into detail about how you completed the task, and why you chose to do certain things, well done! I don’t know a lot of Te Reo Māori (“the Māori language”) BUT I do know Rema, Wha, Toru, Rua, Tahi, and Korē (“zero”) because I use as a teacher to help get the class quiet!
How long have you been playing volleyball? Do you think you’ll try and learn more Te Reo over the summer?
Looking forward to what else you post during the Summer Learning Journey!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
Kia ora Chris,
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
Yes, the trick that you told must work to help get the class quiet.
I have been playing volleyball since I came to New Zealand which is about 2 years.
Yes, I would like to learn more about Te Reo Maori while doing the Summer Learning Journey.
Did you know that there was previously no written language before Maori in New Zealand?
Thank you so much!
I am looking forward to your reply.

Kia ora Sahil,
DeleteI did know that! I also know that there still isn't, to this day, a Te Reo Māori dictionary which is part of what makes learning the language so complicated. So important to keep trying though, so ka pai!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
