KMK Kāika Reo Funding
Nei rā he kōrero nā tētahi puna kua whiwhi tautoko mai i te Kotahi Mano Kāika, Kāika Reo Funding.
Te Puna Reo o Ngā Mata Riki
Is a group of te reo speaking whānau based in Ōtautahi Christchurch who meet regularly to support each other in maintaining Te Reo Māori as the first language in the home. Next year we will continue our regular activities:
- Weekly activities each Friday from 10am– 12:30pm. Fridays are mainly attended by one adult from each family with their pre-school children
- Whole whānau activities on last Sunday of each month from 10am–1pm.
Each Friday a different whānau is responsible for planning the day’s activities. This includes emailing the group with details of the kaupapa for the hui, where we will be meeting, kupu hou, kīwaha, whakataukī and any resources that are needed.
Highlights for 2013 for Te Puna Reo o Ngā Mata Riki
- Noho at Kōkiri Te Tai Poutini, walking in the bush, going into caves, learning how to make a fire, toasting marshmallows and rock climbing
- Waka Ama – many of the tuakana of the group have been participating in weekly sessions of waka ama, and many will be competing at the South Island competitions
- Iwi taketake – learning about different cultures each week, the Puna has travelled to Japan, Spain, Italy, Australia and the Cook Islands. Each Friday session we would learn how to say hello from each country.
- This year we have seen many of our pēpi enter into the world of kura, so the puna has been to many pōwhiri at various schools.
- We have our own tohu, which has been something we have wanted for a while.
We attend hui in the wider community and also hui organised through Kotahi Mano Kāika. We also hold an annual whānau hui at the beginning of the year to identify the various kaupapa matua for the upcoming year, and break the year up into separate wāhanga.
