Week 4 Challenge

Karawhiua - Give it a Go!

Kia ora tamariki

Here are 3 fun ideas of ways in which you could help improve your Te Reo and Tikanga Māori (Māori language and custom)

Kai! (Food) One of my favourite topics!

Koru Whānau 
Look at the huarākau (fruit) below and choose your top 5. Draw and label them in Te Reo. Maybe you could use them to make a fruit salad.

If you have access to a printer perhaps you could print out two copies by clicking here. Cut them out and have a game of memory with a member of your whānau.

Kowhai Whānau

Look at the whurutu (fruit) above and seperate them into two lists - likes (E pai ana) and dislikes (Kāore e pai ana)
You could use the link below to draw them onto two plates and label.
Likes and Dislikes

Kauri Whānau

Can you find out the meaning of the following words:

kai moana
kai whenua


See if you can come up with 5 examples of traditional Māori kaimoana and kaiwhenua that would have been eaten before the English settlers arrived. 

Have you been to a hangi before? Write a short description of what you experienced and what you ate.
Check out this fun video of how to prepare a traditional hangi.

Arya from Room 12 has sorted the kai and has even included how they are good for our bodies! Tu meke!
