Ngā Whakahau - Giving Instructions
We can use whānau trips and outings (haerenga) as opportunities to practice giving instructions (whakahau) and encouraging good behaviour (whanonga) in reo Māori. There are lots of phrases we can use, but lets stick to a few simple ones on our haerenga to Matiu/Somes. The great thing about the following phrases is you can start using them with your tamariki today in any situation!
Ngā Pātai - Handy Questions
The following are handy questions you can use with your tamariki or others while exploring the motu. But they are also questions that can be used in most situations , trips, outings, while in town, at the shops and even at home.
Kōrero mō te āhua - Describing something
Visiting Matiu/Somes will give us an opportunity to practice describing the environment and the wildlife around us. We can use this simple pattern to describe things we might see.
He (object you are describing) + (descriptive word) eg. He rangi paki tēnei – This is a beautiful day
Kōrerorero - Lets talk!
There are so many things we can say whilst enjoying Matiu/Somes! Our advice for any haerenga would be to first, think of the things you will do during the trip and what you might say in English, you can then take those phrases and translate them into māori. This way you will have a few phrases you can use throughout the day. The following phrases are some of things you might say at different times during our day on the motu. Can you think of any other kōrero you might use. Write them down and practice during the week!
