Mauri Ora!
He aha te wā? / What time is it?
This session we learnt how to count in māori and then used that to learn how to tell the time in māori.
Use this simple sheet to practice telling the time. Telling the analogue time is very similar in Te Reo Māori.
Ten minutes past three o'clock - Tekau mineti mai i te toru karaka
Twenty minutes to four o'clock - Rua tekau mineti ki te wha karaka
Wāhi / Places
Places! Learning and using the different māori place names not only helps with pronunciation but can also give you an insight in to the history of that area! In this session we learnt different place names but also the different locations that you may work and live, where you were born and where you grew up.

Ahau - Myself
Koe - You
