Te Reo (Māori Language)

Children all through English medium schools in New Zealand are encouraged to learn their own mihi and pepeha – a way of introducing themselves in a traditional Māori way.

This book helps to give one example of a template for how that can be done. Three children demonstrate their names, their mountains, their rivers, their parents’ names and where they are from.

There is also a second sound track so children can learn to fill in the gaps with their own replies.
