Maori Lessons - Learning the Days of the Week

In class this term we have been learning to become confident in saying  the days of the week in Maori and being able to ask and answer a question using these days.  Here are the days we have been learning and the phrases we have been practicing:

Monday	Rāhina
Tuesday	Rātū
Wednesday	Rāapa
Thursday	Rāpare
Friday	Rāmere
Saturday	Rāhoroi
Sunday	Rātapu

Ko te aha tēnei ra?	What day is this?
Ko te Rāhina tēnei rā.	Today is Monday.

Here are some videos of us practicing together:







Here is a video of us playing the game 'piki' to help us practise the question and answer in Maori, but also to have some fun with our learning!
