ReplyDeleteHi there Lovely,
Great job on your blog post! With your first activity, well done on translating all the Maori and English phrases. I have a small challenge for you now! Have you tried reading the phrases out loud or used them while speaking to someone? It’s great Te Reo practice! Try give it go :)
With your second activity, I really liked your suggestions on the different activities to do in Waitangi. I would definitely love to go to the Maori meeting houses and see the carved walls inside. Also those war canoes would phenomenal to see. Did you know they also have a replica document of the original treaty of Waitangi? Sounds cool right? That would be awesome to see such a historical document (even if it is a replica) in real life! Have you been to Waitangi before? If not, would you like to? I have never been there but I would like to visit there one day.
I thought your questions for Bill Kini in the bonus activity were very insightful and I reckon would get some interesting answers from Bill if you got to ask them! I would be very curious to know who or what inspires him to do his best. What a great question!
Looking forward to reading more of your blog and keep up the great blog posts!
All the best Lovely,
Jade F :)
