Maori Vocabulary

LI: To expand our knowledge on Maori vocabulary.

For Maori this week, we were focusing on translating Maori names into english using our knowledge of the Maori language and vocabulary.

We started our lesson by completing the Maori routine and answering the basic questions at the beginning of our session. Then, Whaea Odie wrote the Maori vocbualary on the board which explained which letters from the English vocabulary change when talking in Maori.

For the task, we were given a list of Maori names and English names. We had to apply our understanding of the Maori vocabulary and characters to connect the correct names to eachother.

I enjoyed this task and found it easy and quick to do because I am very familiar with the Maori vocabulary and translating names.
