Hangi

This is my explanation of what a hangi is so that people understand what is is.

Whakatauki

In Maori we have been learning about a Whakatauki

A Whakataui is a proverb, what is truly valued in the Maori Culture.
The Whakataui that we have been learning about is if we all shared then no one would go without.
We would be able to provide for all that come to us.
There are also Proverbs in the Bible that encourage us to share.
Read these proverbs : Proverbs 19:17; 22:9; 31:20.

Jesus also showed us the teachings of God when he feed the multitudes of people with the fish and the loaves. Read more about this in the Gospel of John: 6 or the Gospel of
Matthew: 14.

Maori Verbs

In room 6 we have been learning verbs in Maori (action verbs.)
The question is "kei te aha ia?" which means what S/he doing.
Ia is the pronoun for both he and she.
We have matched verbs up, filled in crosswords
and played Simon says.

My Pepeha

During this term Room 6 has been learning how to write a Pepeha. A Pepeha is a Maori introduction that establishes your identity and heritage. We learned how to say our Pepeha and then we said it in front of the class and then we used screencastify to video it.This is my Pepeha.
