Welcome back bloggers!
You may have started the Summer Learning Journey already.
If so good luck!
For this weeks activity we had to read about Taika Waititi, a NZ comedian, filmmaker and director. He also played Korg (The Rock Guy) in Thor Ragnarok.
He sometimes introduces himself using a pepeha so this week we have made a pepeha.
For this activity, we would like to create your own pepeha. You can write the pepeha in any language that you wish. If you need some help, please visit this pepeha website or use this template.
My pepeha is in Maori
Ko New zealand ahau / Country
Ko Mt Roskill toku maunga / Mountain
Ko Pacific ocean toku moana / Ocean
Ko Auckland toku kainga / City
Ko Darcey-rose taku tuahine / Sister
Ko Ian raua ko oku Pong Koo koro / Grandfather
Ko Ruth Raua ko oku Alice kuia / Grandmother
Ko Rob toku papa / Dad
Ko Karpo toku mama / Mum
Ko Toby toku ingoa / Me
Tena Kotou Tena Kotou Tena Kotou Katoa
Blog ya later!
Mōrena Toby, I hope you are having a groovy day!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Eliza and I’m working as a blog commenter on the Summer Learning Journey this summer. Have you done the Summer Learning Journey before? I’m looking forward to reading your posts and the other bloggers' posts from the Ako Hiko cluster, over the next few weeks! If you want to know more about me, you can check out my blog.
First of all, thank you so much for sharing your pepeha! It’s a really special thing to read to get to know someone and their background a little better. I like how you’ve added your whānau in, and how you’ve done both the English and Maori versions - this will be useful for your blog viewers in case they don’t speak Maori. What is your favourite part about living in Mount Roskill? I sometimes work in Roskill and I really like it - my favourite part is the restaurant ‘dosa plaza’, it’s so yummy!
I did my pepeha a few months ago and I enjoyed doing it as It made me think about my family, my home, and my background, although I am still trying to learn it off by heart! Here it is:
Ko Mount Iron te maunga
(Mount Iron is my mountain)
Ko Cheltenham te awa
(Cheltenham is my river/water)
Ko University of Auckland tōku kura
(University of Auckland is my school)
Nō Tāmaki Makaurau ahau
(Auckland is my town/city/country)
Ko Eliza tōku ingoa
(Eliza is my first name)
I hope that you will keep blogging with us over the summer. Keep working on the teaser week activities and on the 16th of December you can start the Week 1 activities.
Thanks for your awesome post and keep up the great mahi!
Eliza :)
