Celebrate Te Reo, and learn some new words. Its fun, and it is easy now with internet access!
Im trying to teach Miss 5 how to pronounce some of the place names.
If youre looking to expand your knowledge for Maori Language week, I found this site -Korero Maori- awesome! As are the work sheets sent home from school! :)
If youre wanting a sing-a-long, we found this site.
NZ Folksong
It has some of the old favourites - Oma Rapeti, The Colour Song, and even Jingle Bells, in Maori! Ka pai!
| Oma rāpeti, oma rāpeti Oma, oma, oma Oma rāpeti, oma rāpeti Pūhia te kaiako Pako pako pako Ko te tangi ō te pū Oma rāpeti, oma rāpeti Oma, oma, oma | Run rabbit, run rabbit Run, run, run Run rabbit, run rabbit Shoot the teacher Bang, bang, bang goes the farmer's gun Run rabbit, run rabbit Run, run, run |
(to the tune of Run, Rabbit, Run)
Ive just been looking in the garden this morning, its amazed me how many you can fit in such a small place. I think Spring must be around the corner, this morning it is heavy cloud and cold, - I saw my first Monarch butterfly winging his way along. I hope this is a good sign. It was a big one, so where ever he is living, hes eating well :)
My heart goes out to those in the North, coping with such brutal weather, flooding and the likes. I hope it shores up soon and life can get back to what it once was, or better!
Another Icon passes through - Bless you Margaret Mahy! Your stories will be cherished, they are already.
Roll On Spring breezes and sunny days.
Hope your garden is growing well,
Take Care
