Last term we had a student teacher named Whaea Seroya and we were learning a kupu o te ra which is a word of the day and these are some of them:
We learned to play whare whare kemu is a game there was 10 lines of fruit-hua rakau and Whaea Seroya called out fruit (hua rākau) in Maori. We made wheku masks and a pukapuka (book). We chose a fruit (hua rakau) or a vegetable (hua whenua) to write about. In it I wrote Ko wai ahau? Ko karoti ahau, No wai au? Ko hua rākau au. We learnt all about Te Wiki Te Reo Maori which is Maori language week.

Last week we went to an amazing show called the Mahuika show. And there were two sisters called Kahu and Sissy and Kahu always came plans that Sissy ran away when jobs came around. So one Sissy found a magic kete and potiki came out aka the last burning fingernail of Mahuika. And potiki turned nana into coal and he said I can't turn her back. So they had to go to the underground and they set off down the path and they meant pukeko and he kidnapped potiki and the girls tried to rescue him and they found the sun and pukekos running on water. Sissy and Kahu said how do we do it so they tried and they went back and the sun said what are you doing Sissy and Kahu got a fright ah. The sun called Sissy was a Maui girl and Kahu got called the bosses boots. Kahu lost her voice and Maui girl had to do a question and she got it and Kahu was left behind so Sissy had to got to Mahuika.
