Te Reo Singalong at home.

Ata mārie e te whānau,

Children's author Sharon Holt has created this website to be used by whānau for free during the lockdown. Holt's Te Reo Singlaong books are a great way to learn some Te Reo Māori, and have a sing at the same time! In these videos Holt does a lovely translation, and suggests some at-home activities to go with each pukapuka (book). Ka mau te wehi!

Kapa Haka at home

Tēnā koutou katoa,

Have your tamariki been missing kapa haka? I know Whaea Hinehau and I have been. If you're interested in learning some new waiata and haka at home, Kia Mau is a children's series on Māori Television that teaches kapa haka to tamariki, starting with the basics. You don't have to be an expert, and kei te pai (all good) if you don't understand all the kupu (words). Just having a go is a great way to start, and lots of fun! Mauri ora!
