Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori 2022
Week 8, is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. It sounds like every Kura has some great activities planned to celebrate this beautiful taonga.
If you are looking for something extra, we have made up a BINGO/Choice Board that kaiako can use with their tamariki. There are also BINGO/Choice Board Teacher Notes to help you to explain each activity.
There are also a whole kete of printable posters and resources found on the official website to help support you and your Kura this year.
Remember, as teachers, this is a perfect opportunity to model the learning pit with your tamariki. Give it a go, feel uncomfortable, make mistakes and verbalise how it feels because that’s what powerful lifelong learners do.
Kia kaha te kōrero Māori
