Ko Beth Dixon te kaiako mō te mahi i te rā nei. He wahine matatau i te reo Māori. I really enjoy listening to this wāhine. It's not often I get the chance to listen to someone else kōrero Māori and it's an extra bonus when I can access that person's level of reo. She manages to keep it light but cram it full of the business at the same time. It was also a real pleasure to come together with Te Puna o te Reo - my colleagues Christine and Heather. We work together each day, however it can be difficult to touch base in our own akomanga. Today we got to sit together and kōrerorero, whakarongo, whakawhiti whakaaro, and extend that whanaungatanga further afield.
Kuapapa mō te rā nei - Reo-ā-waha i ngā wā katoa! Ko tērā te mātāmua o te whānau reo. Ko te pānui me te tuhituhi te pōtiki. Teachers can be so quick to shift to a pānui or tuhituhi focus. He aha ai? Oral language should be at the forefront of mahi ako i te reo Māori.
My takings from the day...
A goal for me to to be more explicit about what we are doing and the take (reason) for it. Āta whakaakona māriretia - explicitly learn!
