Tēnā koutou katoa kei ngā kaihoe o tō tāua waka, kua eke nei ki te wehenga ruatanga o tēnei terenga, ā, kua mārewa a Matariki i te paerangi hei tohu i ngā manako o te tau hou e tū nei. Kia tau te āio ki runga i a tātou

Please find attached the learning outcomes handout from class this week, this will help you to complete the homework tasks:

Wāhanga 2 – Te Pō: pg. 62-65
Māori Made Easy: pg. 221-223

The other homework tasks (that I forgot to tell the Wednesday night class, apologies) is that you need to create a calendar for 2018 in Te Reo Māori.
Similar to this one http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/assets/LanguageResources/A4-Calendar.pdf. Try to make it an interactive calendar so that you can use it every day.

To celebrate Matariki or the Māori new year, we will be having a kaitahi (shared dinner) with all the other classes on site in the evening next week, please bring a plate to class with you.

Lastly, we had a few people away māuiui this week, please look after yourselves and your whānau as Hine-Takurua (maiden of the winter) and Hine-Kōrako (maiden of the night sky) approach in this time of year. For those who are feeling well next week. I’d advise you to come in for a tutorial on Monday at 6pm. There are a few of you who will already be attending.
