ReplyDeleteYou have done an awesome job translating these phrases! Did you need to use Google Translate for all of the phrases or did you know some of the phrases already?
I’m a student teacher, so during my degree I had the chance to go and spend time in classes where I was able to teach. One of the lessons I enjoyed teaching the most was ‘Kei te pēhea koe?’. We played bingo with the Maori names of feelings, there was lots of laughing, learning and fun. What subject at school did you enjoy the most, last year?
The Summer Learning Journey finishes tomorrow night at midnight, so get blogging now before you head back to school!
I look forward to reading more of your blogs soon!
