LI: to learn how to communicate aspects of your geneology.
This week for the Te Reo Maori challenge, we were learning about how to talk about our aspects of our geneology using Maori words. To do this, we put together a family tree that shows the names of ourselves, our parents and our grandparents. This will help us to answer questions in Te Reo Maori. For example: if someone asks you “Ko wai ō mātua?” (Who are your parents?), the family tree would help you answer this (Ko Bibi Gul taku whaea, Ko Yavaz taku matua.) Ko wai ō tūpuna? translates to Who are your grandparents?. If someone asked me this I would reply back with ” Ko Sayed Ahmad taku koro and Ko Hawa taku kuia “.
I enjoyed this activity because I learnt more about Te Reo Maori and how to communicate sentences in Maori.
