Celebrating Maori Language Week 2012


Room 12 are celebrating Maori Language week in a number of ways this year.  Read on to find out what all the fuss is about...

Monday our Resource Teacher of Maori Whaea Rangimaria will be in to teach us Tumutumu - this is about using found instruments.  What connection does this have to Maori Language Week you say?


We are also skyping a number of schools across the country sharing our favourite waiata, haka, mihi, kapa haka practice and many more things that signify Te Reo Maori.

Be apart of the celebration Learn it, Live it, Love it!

We will be using the What, So What, Now What model to reflect on our Maori Language week experinces.

  1. We would love to connect some of our classes at our school with yours for Maori Language Week! Can you skype message our teacher to organise this? (myles.webb located in Hamilton) We're a Y7/8 Intermediate School but would love the opportunity!

  2. We had a fantastic skype with you Room 12 - thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent. We were blown away by your energy! You really did sound like a real Kapa Haka group not a class. We would love to come back and see your actual Kapa Haka group on Friday.

  3. Thank you Mrs Rolton and Room 12. We, at Darfield, are really enjoying the Skype connections we have with you. The three who joined you on Monday for tumutumu had a fabulous time! We are really looking forward to sharing waiata with you on Friday.
