Maori with Whaea Saf

This term for Maori with Whaea Saf, we have been learning about a pepeha (which is a Maori mihi) that identifies not just Maori people but all people and where they come from. It helps people to recognise and make connections when they listen to people share their pepeha. We've also started learning a waiata. Do you recognise the tune?

Hiwarau's Mihi in Maori

As part of our topic for this term, each child will say their mihi in Maori. A mihi is a speech/ talk about themselves. In their Maori mihi, there is a particular order that we follow in our class. You can also click here to see our friends in Melville Intermediate, Hamilton and the way they present their mihi too.
