Maori | Week 8

LI : To learn about maori.

We were using Maori dictionary to translate words and put them in the correct order. This column was mostly about days of the week, they were mixed up and it was my task to put them in order. One of the most hardest to translate was the traditional sayings as I had to remove some letters so it could translate/make sense. After this we have one more task which is months in maori.

LI : To learn about respect, and how we should respect other people.
We had to learn how we can cope with people with differences and also make them feel good,  and help them. Such as being disabled, for an example let's say someone is unable to walk, we would help them by pushing their wheelchair if needed because a path might be steep. We talked about how we could help/please someone that has different taste in food, like unable to eat meat due to them being vegan.

Athletics day

We were divided into four teams blue,red,green and yellow. We had to try to win as many games as we can. The games we played were Lilly pad gladiator, rob the nest, long jump, sponge relay, shot put, hoola hoops, bean bag race, egg and spoon race and the frizbie frenzie we had a few hours of fun!

LI : To learn about maori
This week for maori we were back into our normal groups, the first task we did was No hea koe witch was asking where we are from. There was another part to it but it could not be done as it did not make sense, the next task we did was Ataata which was like a quiz mixed in with translation. There were some videos we could use to find out what macrons where and help with our task.

 LI: Understand the difference between legal and illegal images.  

This task was about trying to find the quickest way to find legal images in the less amount of time. When that was done we had a task to explain how we could use the way, with an example image. This was a independent task.

Maori

LI: To learn about mario and the maori language.
One of the first things we did during maori was finish unfinished work from last week or the week before. Our group did that for a while but before we did anything else we had to choose a new group name. We decided our new name would be "wakandan", after that we sat on the mat our maori teacher speak in maori and then tell us what it means in maori. She would also use maori phrases from last week and the week before.

Maori

LI : To learn new words in maori.
The first thing we did was talk with fire odie. She would ask us new questions from last week, she would write what the phrase/word means in maori. And write in english what it means so we can read the question, if we have forgotten.

The next task was like that but this time we had a grid with words and our group had to divide and conquer the worksheet. Our group would use maori dictionary to help find the meaning. The repeated words like "roa" or "toa" would mean that they had multiple meanings instead of one. 

Maori

Mrs Fireodie told us to make groups of seven before we did anything. There are three groups of seven, we are the first group and the first task we did as a group was talk with the teacher well she speaks maori. She would say things like "who are you" or "what's your dads name" in maori and we would say their name or our name. She would try and trick us like instead of saying "who are you" when it's meant to be "whos your grandads name".

After that we went on a new task that made us watch a short 30 second clip in maori. We then had to find out what they are saying. This either could be a group task or a solo task. Our group decided for it to be a group task. By the time we were done we could not do any more tasks as it was morning tea. So we had done 2/3 tasks.
