Te Reo Maori

Te Reo Maori is a living and relevant language and an official language of New Zealand. By gaining both language and cultural knowledge and understanding students learn new ways to think about, question and interpret the world and their place in it. Te Reo Maori can be introduced into everyday activities and routines e.g. numbers, days of the week, colours and greetings, with music & movement, the arts e.g. weaving, puzzles, books (both Bilingual and Te Reo ) and storytelling. Learning about New Zealand’s unique native ecosystems will lead to respect and developing sense of responsibility for the wellbeing of the living environment and how to care for it.
