Maori Class – Ngā Tae/ Colours

Welcome back to my blog! It’s always a pleasure to have you here. Today, I am excited to share with you my experience in my Māori class. I’ve been taking this class for a few days now, and I must say, it has been a fantastic learning journey so far.

 

In our most recent class, we had a lesson on colours in Māori. I was a bit nervous at first, as I’ve always found remembering new words in a different language challenging. However, our teacher was fantastic, and the way she taught us made learning the colours in Māori a breeze.

 

We started with the basics, learning the colours of the rainbow. I was amazed at how beautiful the words sounded in Māori. We learned that red is “whero,” orange is “karaka,” yellow is “kōwhai,” green is “kākāriki,” blue is “kikorangi,” purple is “waiporoporo”, pink is “māwhero”, brown is “paraune”, grey is “kiwikiwi”, black is “mangu/pangu”, white which is mā, rainbow is “Uneuku and finally colours which is Ngā Tae.  As we went through each colour, we repeated them back to our teacher, which helped us remember them better.

 

We learned the word “colour” in Māori, which is “Ngā Tae and then we learnt the word “rainbow” in Māori, which is “Uneuku.” We practised saying it a few times, and I must say, in the end, I got it. We learned the Maori word for “colour”, which is “Ngā Tae”, and then we proceeded to learn the Maori word for “rainbow”, which is “Uneuku”. We practised saying it a few times, and I must say, in the end, I was able to get it right.

 

Overall, I had a fantastic time in my Māori class today. I was delighted to discover that I was able to remember all the colours we learned, including the colours of the rainbow, the word “colour,” and the word “rainbow.” I’m looking forward to our next class, where I hope to learn even more about this beautiful language and culture.

Ngā tae – Colours

Welcome back to my blog. In Māori class today, we learned about colours and grammar. We learned all the colours of the rainbow and the word “rainbow” in Māori. The teacher wrote the word in English on the board and we had to answer in Māori. For the grammar part of the lesson, the teacher wrote some Māori words and we had to answer them, such as “he aha” which means “what”. We had to write sentences incorporating colours.

 

Our task was to choose between four levels: Ace, Pro, Legend, or Titan. Ace is the easiest level and is based on years 3-4, Pro is a little harder and is for years 5-6, Legend is hard and is for years 7-8, and Titan is also hard but has more details and is for year 9’s. I chose the Legend task, but my teacher suggested I should try the Titan task, as she believed I could do it.

 

Here are the different tasks that we could choose from:

 

Toroa-Titan Ruku-Legend Hāro-Pro Roimata-Ace
‘He aha te tae 

o tēra ahanoa? 

‘What colour 

is that object’

Numbers and Countings – Māori

Welcome back to my blog! Today in class, we did a challenging task of learning how to count in Māori. We practised counting things and people with great diligence and focus. Our teacher began the lesson by writing down some familiar words on the whiteboard, which we quickly recapped and practised. After that, the teacher introduced some new vocabulary, which we diligently copied. I am confident that we all performed exceptionally well in today’s lesson, and I hope you found it informative and engaging.

Counting Things –

E hia ngā turu? – How many chairs?

Aotearoa Place Names – Māori Class

Bonjour, welcome to my blog.

Yesterday in Māori, we had 2 tasks to complete. The first task was for 20 minutes and it was to connect a puzzle in Māori and English in the puzzle. It was so hard to do that we couldn’t even do it in 20 minutes.

After the puzzle, the second task was to name Aotearoa places in Māori, we and my friend Felice did this activity together, and we wrote the words in Māori and English to know what they meant.

We used a Māori dictionary if you want to know any Māori word just type the English word in the box and it will show the Māori word. If you want to try this out click on this link – Māori Dictionary.

Here is my task, hope you enjoy
