Te Reo Kori

Today we had fun learning the Maori names of fruit in P.E. We played Hua rakau-huamata (Fruit Salad).

It’s a game where we pair up and sit down on the ground opposite each other.

Each pair is given a fruit name in Te Reo Maori eg Panana (banana) or Ropere (strawberry)

When the teacher calls out your fruit you jump up and race over the legs  and all the way back to your place.

These are the fruits in Maori.

Aporo----Apple

Panana----Banana

Arani----Orange

Pititi----Peach

Ropere----Strawberry

Pea----Pear

Karepe----Grape

Merengi----Melon

Huakiwi----Kiwifruit

Watamerengi----Watermelon
