SLJ - Te Huarere

 I found this activity sort of easy because I already knew about some weather in Māori, but some things were new to me.

  1. Hey Lucy,

    Great job on this activity, well done for correcting ordering the sentences. It’s cool to hear you know some of the words already and learned some new ones too.

    Another student asked me what my favorite Maori word was. I thought it was a great question. I'd love to know if you have learned a new word you use more often now?
    I must admit that I don’t know too many Maori words and only know a few complete sentences, so I’m enjoying these tasks too as I get to learn a bit as well.

    My favourite word might have to be “Pounamu”, pounamu is green stone or jade and it also means ‘precious’. My house at school was called pounamu and green’s my favourite colour. Our house motto was Ahakoa he iti, he pounamu: ‘Although Small, It Is Precious’.

    Do you have a favourite word?

    See you later in the comments,

    1. Hello Daniel
      I have learnt a word that I use often now. Anthropomorthic. I learnt it in about August last year. My favourite word is in English. It's ripple. I like the way it rolls of your tounge when you say it.
