Himene

'He Honore' is a himene (hymn) we have learnt. We also sing it at the end of the Cultural Festival. The video has the words as well as some tamariki doing sign language. Karawhiua!

Waiata-ā-ringa
Challenge Toru
'Tutira Mai' is one song that almost all the tamariki and kaiako know. However, we have been singing the wrong words and the tune is slightly different. Listen to the daughter of the composer explain how this came about. In the song, listen for the kupu 'Kia tapatahi, kia kotahi rā'. Finally, have a go at learning the actions.

Tongue Twister
Challenge Whā
This activity is to help with pronunciation of Māori vowels.
First say, "Are there three or two". Now, using the same sounds that are in those five words say a-e-i-o-u. If you take away the consonants, the vowel sounds should be the same.
Using the Māori vowels start with the top line and work your way down. If you make a mistake or stumble, start again. Who can keep a rhythm as they say it? Who can say it the fastest? Pai tū, pai hinga (Whatever the outcome!)

Mihi

Challenge Rima
Here is our school mihi. Remember, this is just one example of a mihi. Start from tallest, maunga, through to smallest, yourself. Practise our mihi. Your hapū is your room number. Mine would be 'korūma ono te hapū'. Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou katoa. Ko Te Iringa o Kahukura te maunga. Ko Ōpāwaho te awa. Ko matauranga te waka. Ko Sally Ormandy te tumuaki. Ko Ōpāwa te iwi. Ko ruma ______ te hapū. Ko ___________ tōkū ingoa. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa. Try learning it off by heart. Kia kaha! Can you remember your own personal mihi? Ask a family member for help if you get stuck. |
Key:
Te Iringa o Kahukura (Cashmere Hills) Ōpāwaho (Heathcote) Matauranga (Education) Tumuaki (Principal) Tōkū ingoa (My name) |
