Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori-Māori Language Week
Last week Tū Kahikatea - Room
13 wanted to celebrate MLW.
The focus for this MLW
was 'Arohatia Te Reo' that
means Cherish the Language.
On Monday we went to Avondale
Kura and sang outside to the
whole school with the Avondale
Kapahaka group.
On Tuesday we practised our
waiata for the rest of the week's
performances.
On Wednesday we travelled to
Southbrook School, in Rangiora,
in our mighty school vans.
We sang to Whaea Steph's class
and they played the recorder to
us. It was super and we enjoyed
ourselves.
The next day we went to St.
Andrew's Primary School and did
kapahaka to over 150 children.
They sang us a song with
instruments and their beautiful
voices. They thought we were
impressive because we were
young and there were only 16 of
us in our group.
On Friday we headed off to Villa
Maria College and we performed
to the girls only school. Whaea
Robyn told us "kia kaha!". After
she told us 'we owned the stage'.
The girls thought we were cute
and loved Jack. They wanted to
keep him, but we said no!
Villa Maria sang to us and
with us. We all stood on stage
together to sing 'A, ka, ma'. It
was a thrilling experience.
To finish a fantastic Māori
Language Week we sang
the final waiata at our school
assembly.
'He toki mātou!'
