Te Reo Māori Year 8

Te reo me Tikanga Māori:  This course covers Māori language and customs, conversational Māori and learning about historical and contemporary culture including Karakia, mihi me pepeha, sport, such as Ki-o-Rahi and celebrating the Māori New Year/Matariki and Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.

The Year 8 Te Reo Māori course expands on Year 7 and will cover aspects of both the language (Te Reo) and Māori customs (Tikanga). Students will explore Te Ao Māori in both modern and traditional contexts, as well as experience a range of Māori learning opportunities through games, songs, history, arts and crafts.

Learning will also involve students developing their competence using four key language skills in a wide range of settings and situations. The skills are whakarongo (listening), kōrero (speaking / presenting), pānui (reading / viewing) and tuhituhi (writing).

This course will help students to develop an awareness and appreciation of Te Reo me ona Tikanga Māori, and its unique significance in Aotearoa.

Incorporating our school values and Catholic ethos as well as the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi are interwoven throughout all leaning.
