Maori Language Week: Learning App

 LI: To create an app through google slides that helps a person to learn maori.


The above app is a collaborative work of Lukah, Ong, Afatia and me which was made for Maori Language Week. This is our last task and we first planned our work on a piece of paper as it was very important. Planning the work was helpful because then we could divide the work and decide what we have to do in each slide. I really liked completing this task as we could showcase our learning through making an app and learning new words and meanings. I would really love to work as a team with my friends and finish such knowledgeable and fun tasks.

Maori Language Week: Map

 LI: To create a map and mark maori places that have an english meaning behind it.

The above google maps is a collaborative work of Lukah, Ong and me for Maori Language Week. This is our third task and we first searched about maori places and then found their meanings. We also tried to link the english meaning to the place. The place I found most interesting was Papakura as it means red earth. It is named because the soil is very rich in nutrients which gives it a red color. We have found many such places which has a link to their english meanings which made it very amazing for us. We would love to complete many such tasks that increases our knowledge on this topic.

Maori Language Week: Proverbs

 LI: To create a google draw that explains your desired whakatauki (proverb).


The above google draw is a collaborative work of me and Afatia which showcases the meaning of our desired proverb. We have included the proverb in both maori and english as well as the meaning to explain it clearly. Our proverb was "He rau ringa e oti ai" and the reason we chose this proverb was because it was something new and very inspiring for us as well as we also found the meaning very attractive. We have also added a screencastify scripted by me and Afatia which explains our task in more detail. After completing the task we understood the meaning of proverbs and the meaning behind it.

Maori Language Week: History

 LI: To create a google draw that tells others about the history of Maori Language Week.


The above google draw is a collaborative work of me and Afatia which showcases the history of the origin on Maori Language Week. To explain the topic clearly we have added the meaning, time, reason, importance, conclusion and timing of the Maori Language Week. We didn't really know anything about it and we found interesting about its origin as well as how and when it started. I think the origin of the Maori Language Week is the main reason of people still learning and respecting this beautiful culture now. After completing the task I understood the topic in a detail and I also loved working with Afatia as a team.
