Hi everyone

     and welcome back to Term 3. The year is rushing past!.

Cook Islands Māori Language Week / Te epetoma o te reo Māori Kuki Airani starts on 31st July. The theme for this year is:

"Kia ariki au i toku tupuranga, ka ora uatu rai toku reo"

"To embrace my heritage, my language lives on"

You can find resources to support this event on:

• TKI

• Facebook

• Christchurch Libraries

• Ministry for Pacific Peoples

What has your school got planned for Cook Island Māori Language Week?

Before the break we shared

• Māori language pronunciation guides

• possible resources for a unit on Māori culture / history

It was great to see so many ESOL teachers at CLESOL and would be even more wonderful if people shared any new understandings gleaned from the conference. Once the rush of the first week back is over please think about a short post on something you learnt at CLESOL.

Upcoming events

Light the Fire on 3rd August

Have a great week
