Ko tçnei te Wiki o te Reo Mâori

As part of our celebrations for Te Wiki o te Reo Mâori (Mâori Language week) we have been hosting scrabble games in te Reo Mâori in the Education Library. Our interactive display has been enjoyed by staff,students and academics. There has been lots of banter, laughter and kôrero floating around the library as the players contend with each other over kupu (word) choices.

A huge acknowledgement must go out to Denise Kennedy for her handy design and display flair- ngâ mihi ki a koe Denise.

The theme for Mâori language week this year is “Word of the week”. This year the initiative is running for 52 weeks and encourages people to use and learn one new kupu (word) per week. If you would like to learn more, visit the Facebook site where there is plenty of inspiration, fun ideas and downloadable resources.
