Revision

We did revistion about all the things we did during the term. 

I answered questions in Maori, the questions were: Kei hea to hoa? which means where is your friend.

last I played a memory game that involves saying the maori words. 

I enjoyed this task because I answered all the questions and got them all correct.

Maori / Qestions

 This week we continued writing maori senetences. 

We learned sentences like Kei hea te ....? which means where is the object, the other sentence was kei runga ..... which means the object is on something or under somthing.

Then we made a copy of the maori slide and answered the qestions after we made our own silde and we put the information on the side and we also added some pictures.

This activity was fun because I had relly fun doing the sentences and the slide.

Questions

I learned how to say new words.

First we did some questions like He aha te huarere and E hai nga tau.

Next we wrote some sentences, for example: ke hea panana? kei panana i te .

Last if we finished the task we can do some food time.

I enjoyed this task next I need to improve on saying the maori words.

And the second question was kua mutu that means finished or I'am finished.

Mihi Whakatau

Mihi whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significent aspeds to the place. The Maunga (mountain) , Awa (river) and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.  

Introducing Ingoa (name) , Oku tipuna (ancestored place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitor/s that are being welcomed. 

It is important to end with a warm welcome so the visitors know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of a visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections.
