Whakatauki

In Maori we have been learning about a Whakatauki. A Whakatauki is a proverb, what is truly valued in the Maori Culture. The Whakatauki that we have been learning about is if we all shared then no one would go without. We would be able to provide for all that come to us. There are also Proverbs in the Bible that encourage us to share. Read these proverbs : Proverbs 19:17; 22:9; 31:20. Jesus also showed us the teachings of God when he feed the multitudes of people with the fish and the loaves. Read more about this in the Gospel of John: 6 or the Gospel of Matthew: 14.

Pepeha

During this term room 6 has been learning how to write a Pepeha. A Pepeha is a Maori introduction that establishes your identity and heritage. We learned how to say our Pepeha, we said it in front of the class and  then we used screencastify to video it. This is my Pepeha
