Learning Maori (By Coby McLauren)

We go to Kapa Haka to learn waiata and haka.

It helps to learn Te Reo Maori so you are able to communicate. Room 1 has learnt their mihimhi to be able to connect with their ancestors. Here is my mihimihi and a few of my class mates. You can get so much out of learning another language and culture.
You just need to be open-minded to learning new things.
