This past week we celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
We had a week full of fun activities that ākonga worked through via a BINGO sheet. Activities included doing the EP- whakataetae Reo Māori, Quizzes, Disney Moana in Te Reo Māori, tongue twisters, and doing our whole school haka – #Reomoment on Thursday.
Kaiako have also joined in on the fun, collecting stickers when they’ve spoken in Te Reo during classes, to go into a draw to win some Miraka Kirīmi chocolate. We also enjoyed some parāoa parai (fried bread) for morning tea.
