SLJ Step it up: E hia nga mia?

Today, I made a presentation of counting numbers in Māori with a summer theme.

First, I used Maori Dictionary to translate the English words that was related to summer.

The words translated to aihikirīmi - ice cream, kokonati - coconut, eke ngaru - surfboards, paoro - balls, ngohi - fishes, paināporo - pineapple, waka kōpana - boats, hiripa - jandles, pāpaka - crabs and angaanga - shells. 

Secondly, I made two slides for every picture. In the first slide I asked the question and in the second slide I answered the question. 

Next, I added a back button and linked it to second slide which makes you come back. 

Lastly, I embeded my google slides to the blog post. 

I learnt that when we talk about people, we use the phrase "Tokohia".

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because I learnt new Māori words that I didn't know before.

    Chris here, from the Summer Learning Journey.

    Pai mahi on doing the E hi nga mia Step it Up 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, but I think this time- with all the different slides, and the design choices you made- like putting the number of each thing you’re asking about in Te Reo in the pictures you’ve used- is truly outstanding. Well done!!

    I hope you do keep learning more Te Reo over the summer, learning languages can be very beneficial and you’ve made such a strong start to it already! Do you know any other words in other languages?

    Looking forward to what else you post during the Summer Learning Journey!


    Ngā mihi,

    1. Kia ora Chris!

      Thank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
      Yes! I think it is really useful to learn a new language.
      Yes, I know how to speak and write Hindi since it was my first language.
      Except for Hindi, I know a little bit of Japanese from watching anime.
      Sayonara means goodbye, Konnichiwa means good afternoon and Arigato means thank you.
      Do you know any other languages other than English? If yes, can you tell me some words?

      Thank you so much!
      I am looking forward to your reply.
      Sahil

    2. Kia ora Sahil,

      That makes sense! I know a few words, but no I can't speak any other languages I'm afraid. Always wanted to learn Spanish, though!


      Tēnā koe,
      Chris
