Aoraki Matatū

I te 15 o Whā, i hui tahi ētahi o kā haumi o te waka o KMK ki Te Whare o Te Waipounamu. Hei aha? Hei āta pānui i kā kōrero e pā ana ki te pakaka e kīia nei ko ‘Pūharakeke Tapu.’

Kātahi te noho tahi ko te wānaka nei. I āta wānaka mātou i kā kōrero me kā whakatakotoraka reo i te ata. He maha kā rereka kōrero rerekē, me te whiuka rerekē o tēnā kupu, o tēnā kupu, ka mutu, he maha hoki kā whakataukī me ka kīwaha. I te ahiahi, i whakarāpopoto mātou i kā kōrero me te tīpako hoki i kā ikoa o kā tīpuna me kā tūtohu whenua hai haka rauemi.

Ko te manako ia, hai te wānaka e tū mai nei, ka oti i a mātou kā rauemi, ā ka whakarato, ka tohatoha atu ki te ao.

Kā Manukura o Te Reo e wānaka ana.

Mokopuna reo o Arowhenua

The puna reo – Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua, run under the much-valued guidance of Tāua Lavinia Reihana-Moemate – has been a familiar sight at the pā of Arowhenua since 2012.

The group, which currently includes 12 tamariki and a number of dedicated mātua, meet on a regular basis at the pā and out in the local community.

Kāi Tahu reo is used whenever they are together and their activities always include karakia, waiata and pepeha – for both tamariki and mātua. According to Tāua Lavinia, “Te reo o Tahu is important for our mokopuna and mātua – to hear our dialect, our tikaka, kawa and waiata, to have a sense of belonging to Te Hapa o Niu Tireni and the wairua of the pā.”

The group’s activities are based around whanaukataka, kotahitaka and mātauraka and provide relaxed and fun environments for whānau to learn and use te reo together. As well as supporting pōwhiri at the marae, the group’s recent outings have included visits to Waimate when they hosted their cultural kapa haka competitions, to the Aigantighe Art Gallery at Timaru to support the art exhibition of Tāua Moana Tipa, and to hear pūrākau at the Temuka Library.

The whānau of Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua are also seasoned performers in the Korohi o te Pēpi section of the annual Flava Festival in Timaru and were once again well represented this year. Mokopuna Reo o Arowhenua is a past recipient of KMK Kāika Reo funding.

Te Wiki o te reo Māori ki Ōtepoti

I te Rāhina i hui kā tauira o Te Kura Ākau Taitoka ki te whakanui i tō tātou reo Māori. I tuhi rātou i kā kupu reo Māori ki kā akomaka rā.  He mihi nui ki a Kate Ellison rātou ko Kelli Te Maiharoa mā.

Te Wiki o te reo Māori ki Ōtautahi

Ia raki, i kauhau mai ētahi o kā tauira o Te Puna Wānaka e pā ana ki ā rātou rakahau mō te reo kātahi, ka rua, mō te mahi whakarauora reo. I te aro atu tētahi me pēhea te whai wāhi te reo i ruka i kā pahi, ka wakarereraki hoki. Ka mutu, ko tā te kairakahau, ki te whai wāhi te reo ki ēnei tūmomo mahi, kāore e kore ka whai hua tō tātou reo. Ko te manako hoki ia, ka whai tūraka mahi ēnei tauira ki te whakamātau i ā rātou whakapae.

I whakarite wāhi mātou o KMK ki kā whare kai e rua o Ōtautahi me te tono atu ki te iwi whānui ki te haere mai ki te kai kātahi, ka rua ki te kōrero i te reo Māori. Koira noa iho te utu kia uru atu rā ki te Café Reo, me kōrero i te reo. Nā te pai o ēnei hui, kua whakatau ka tū ēnei tū huihuika ia marama. Mō ngā whakariteka e pā ana ki kā Café Reo, tirohia te whāraki ipuraki, tā mātou pae Pukamata rānei.
