Te ao kori - poi and rakau

In Room 3 we have been enjoying learning about te ao kori, which for us is the fitness and health aspect of tikanga maori. We have been trying out some new techniques and skills using poi and rakau, and putting our new actions to waiata. As we listen to these songs (such as E Papa and Rere Atu) we also learn new words in te reo maori.

We store this together with our new vocabulary for talking about our special places (our maunga, awa, kokori, puke, and moana), our feelings, and taking care of our environment, and hope to build more and more upon our language and understanding every day :)
