Year 10 Te Reo Māori - Full Year

This course follows on from Year 9 Te Reo Māori and Year 9 Māori Performing Arts. 

In this course, ākonga can expect to take part in activities that involve:

•    revising language to enable them to discuss whānau relationships

•    communicate information about themselves and others

•    present information accurately about a well-known Māori people - past and present

•    extend their oral pepeha/mihimihi

•    listen, speak, and respond to commands and instructions in Te Reo Māori.

•    read and write sentences in Te Reo Māori.

•    there is also an option to participate in the Manu Kōrero speech contest.

Three important Māori art forms are studied: waiata (songs), haka (traditional dance), and poi (performance art using weighted balls on cords). Ākonga will learn about the cultural significance of these art forms and develop their skills in performing them. Emphasis is placed on understanding the historical context, correct technique, and cultural sensitivity associated with waiata, haka, and poi. Through practical activities, rehearsals, and collaborative projects, ākonga will develop their teamwork, communication, and performance skills. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in these art forms and an appreciation for Māori culture and performing arts.
