Provide meaningful contexts to use Te Reo Maori everyday. Eg: teacher commands, immersion of Te Reo into other learning areas, visual aids in classroom, signage around the school and art. • Develop the knowledge and skills of powhiri necessary to welcome visitors to our school. • Build Vocabulary using kupuhou (learn a word a week and shared book) • Teach Te Reo Maori using TeAatarangi • Make use of staff strengths and community expertise- Whanau and community, Kapa haka, Contacts at local Marae • Create a staff awareness of Maori language resources that we hold as a school. Shared folder.
NgaaRauruKiitahi Reo and Tikanga will be given special consideration. Planning will be based on the 6 Whenu. These whenu will be used for Topic Studies (Inquiry learning) as well. Consultation with NgatiPourua is an important part of the process. 1. Whakapapa 2. Te Reo me oonatikanga 3. Ngaa Korero o mua (history) 4. Tetaiao (Environment) 5. Maatauranga (Academic learning-new knowledge) 6. TeAoHurihuri (The modern World)

Seasons Seasonal Activities Erosion Flooding Conservation Water Quality Land use
Key Concepts Origins, Genesis, Beginnings*
Words are important History Environment Technology used to understand and present new learning
Turning world, change over time, cyclic events
Introduction: How will we capture, excite and ignite interest
Prior Knowledge: How will we find out what they already know
Learning activities: What activities will we plan to engage interest and participation
Presentation: How will tamariki present their learning to an audience
Assessment: How will you assess the learning against learning intention
Evaluation: How will tamariki evaluate their learning
*The idea of whakapapa extends to the idea of origins and history. For example, in the topic germs we could study the origins of microbes and the discoveries that
led to this knowledge. In forces, we could study creation, Maui and the son.
