Every year since 1975 New Zealand has marked Māori Language Week. This is a
Māori time for all New Zealanders to celebrate Te Reo Māori (the Māori language)
Language Week and to use more Māori phrases in everyday life. We hope you enjoy learning,
practising, and sharing this beautiful language this week.
Here are a few suggestions that you could do:
• Pepeha
Some of the things that make us who we are, is our history, culture, and whakapapa. These are also things
that as we learn about, give us a real sense of meaning and connection.
A pepeha is an introduction of ourselves in Te Reo Māori and incorporates our ancestry and history.
Our pepeha is a chance to connect to whanau, the places we love and learn some Te Reo Māori along the
way. Use the template to practice introducing yourself in Te Reo Māori.
• Koru Art
Please find below some links to engage
The koru is the Māori name given to the fern that has the
your child:
koru shape. It represents new life, growth, strength, and Colours in te reo Māori song
peace. You can see koru patterns in Māori carvings and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZ-
