Kia Ora koutou katoa,
This is a presentation about my Kōrero learning goals I have accomplished to achieve and what we’e been doing in our Kōrero learning block.
We have been learning how to speak fluent Maori in our Kōrero block for 30 minutes to build our vocabulary so we are confident enough to have normal conversations with anyone.
I found it hard at first but once I got familiar with different words I started to notice that I was getting better at speaking Maori.
The level I am at for Kōrero is Kpa, I am speaking above my expected level and gaining more new kupu hou I haven’t learned which makes me proud of myself. I am able to say my mihi when doing taumata, call the visitors in our kura, and speak in my class as well as to my friends.
I have shared myself recting my mihi for Kōrero because its an important skill you need to know as a tuakana to set the example for the teina of our kura.
My friend and I have also created a video of us talking about going to get food at the grocery shop. We had to repeat each lines to each other and practice to record, then we had to think about which ones we were comfortable with saying in the video.
My goal by the end of the year is to be at Miro for Kōrero, and describe what I study in te reo maori, talk confidently in my class, in the play ground as well as in the community.
