Here is our homework for today it is an maori translation to saying parent names in te reo we had to list down five slots of names and translate them so far i’ve got all my buddys parent names.

Secondly was our group discussion were we would stand up and say our parents names all together names were said and we finished with a little documentary on why Pukekohe is the most racial place in New Zealand and why no maoris were not aloud and pakeha were abusive to maori and we finished with a karakia.

Today was our second technology of Term 4 we were learning about translating days of the week into te re.

as usually Matua harley introduce us to the marae/learning center he politely told us to take off our shoes before entering the marae we then sat down into a circle ready to start our lesson matua harley then started our lesson he showed us the translation of what day is it today=ko te aha tenei ra.

we would respond in an answers it is tuesday today=ko te ratu tenei ra we then were asked by matua harley to revised from last week saying all the days of the week in order here is how it goes:Rahina,Ratu,raapa,rapare,ramere,rahoroi and ratapu.Then it was quiz time Matua harley would then ask a question then we would answer the question was what day is it in 3 days??then we would answer in te reo in 3 day it would be friday.
