Kia ora, tamariki! Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey through the wonderful world of Māori culture by diving into some interesting stories. Are you ready to open your minds and hearts to new adventures? Let’s explore together!
Let's start by having a look at some beautiful Māori art pieces. I have printed a few images that represent traditional Māori carvings, pottery, and weaving.
Now, let’s talk about it!
Great observations, everyone! Just like these artworks tell stories, our reading today will bring to life some fascinating stories from Māori legends. These stories are part of New Zealand's rich history and tell us about brave heroes, fantastic creatures, and important values.
By listening carefully to these stories, you'll not only sharpen your reading skills but also learn a bit more about Māori culture and why it is important to Aotearoa (New Zealand). Now, let’s find a comfy spot, grab our books, and get ready to dive into the magical tales of the Māori!
Feel free to guide the discussion based on the children’s interests and curiosity, allowing them to express their thoughts and make the lesson interactive. You may also include a few vocabulary words related to Māori culture as part of this introduction.
Happy teaching!
