Te Reo, Term 4 2016

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.

We have focused on some key concepts when doing this learning.

These are listed and explained in the table below.

Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
Tikanga	They have a specific order of doing things.
Pōwhiri	It is a ceremony to welcome the guests that are visiting the Marae.
Tangata whenua	It is like the ancestors that were on a Marae.
Manuhiri	It is the visitors that are on the Marae.
Tūrangawaewae	The rights to stand on a Marae.
Whanaungatanga	The family members that are connected to a Marae.
Manaakitanga	Caring for the elders.
Aroha	The love and giving for others.

See this video for an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of people on a marae.

Something I would like to learn more about the marae is how often are there visitors that come on the Marae.

Something I learnt in this maths goal was to use multiplication to solve percentages.
Something I found challenging in this maths goal was the Use Multiplication and Division to estimate and solve fractions because estimating is more challenging then putting the actual answer in.

NZ Identity Treaty Of Waitangi

3 Things I Found Interesting:

1. That the treaty is still used today
2. Their are multiples of copies for the Treaty Of Waitangi.
3. Our treaty is between the British Crown and the Maori.

What if you don't sign the treaty and you don't follow it?
