Languages



Hi, this page is where all of my work regarding our 2 languages we learn this year. I will update this page regularly with my work on the two languages! The Languages we learn are Te Reo Maori and French.

= Term 3: =

Currently we have been recording our advanced conversations. We were in groups and filmed them. We needed to include the introductions, our age, family and our preferences. Below is my group's conversation. You will see that we are loving the french accents :P That doesn't mean we are masters of it!

At the moment as a weeks task we needed to prepare a presentation showcasing an aspect of the country France. We could do anything from the cuisine to fashion or we could outline various aspects in the one presentation. Below is my presentation on France. I decided to include various aspects of France so you would get an basic outline of this amazing country.

For Terms 3 & 4 we will be learning French. During the first couple of weeks we have been reviewing what we learnt last year. Now we have started to write our basic conversations and adding to them. We usually include our introduction of each other and asking how we are. Below is my conversation I wrote:

Livvy: Bonjour! Jemapelle Livvy - E Tu? Livvy: Hello! My name is Livvy - And You? Rosie: Salut! Jemapelle Rosie - Ca Va? Rosie: Hi! My name is Rosie - How are you? Livvy: Tres Bien Merci, E Tu? Livvy: Very Well Thank You, And You? Rosie: Tres Bien Merci Rosie: Very Well Thank You Livvy: A Demain Livvy: See You Tomorrow Rosie: Au Revoir! Rosie: Goodbye! = = = = = = = = = Term 2: = = = This Term we have started to learn more about the days, months and numbers. We are eventually going to learn to put these into a sentence form and pronounce them. We have also started a Months and Days presentation showing what the Days and Months are in Te Reo. This is great as I would like to be able to know all of the days and months in Te Reo Maori.

The Days and Months in Te Reo Maori:





At the moment (Weeks 4 +) we have been learning about the colours in Te Reo. We learnt what they are in Te Reo and using them in sentences. Below is the work:



Maori Mihis: Currently we have been writing our own mihis. A mihi is a speech that you give which tells people about yourself. We will be presenting these to the class this week.

On Thursday 16th June we presented our mihis to the class. I went well but I said the wrong word at the wrong time. Overall I went well and when we next do our mihis I hope I will improve.

My Mihi:

Ko Fiona toku kuia Ko Bob toku koro Ko Amy toku whaea Ko Isabella te taina Ko Tilly te kuri Ko Tigger te ngeru Ko Tararua te maunga Ko Rumahanga te awa Ko Olivia ahau media type="file" key="Maori Mihi.m4a" width="300" height="50"

Term 1:
For Terms 1 and 2 we learn Te Reo Maori. This is important to our school as we have Papawai Marae near our school so we will use this and make the most out of it which will be great.

At the moment we are learning Basic conversations in Maori. We have also been put into groups and are going to film this conversation.
