Welcome to Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori, Maori Language week.
The theme for 2013 is Nga Ingoa Maori, Maori names.
To celebrate and discover the wonder of Ingoa Maori, Maori names, including Place names, people’s names, names of plants and animals the BLENNZ team have been investigating more about our local areas and finding out more about the places we live and work in. This has included finding out the name of the iwi and hapu of the area in which we live and finding out the names the Maunga (Mountain), Awa (River) and Marae of our localities.
We have been sharing our findings with the wider BLENNZ Whanau so that we are all able to learn more about each other and further enrich our learning during Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori. This is providing us with a wonderful opportunity to use local kuia and kaumatua as well as other locals as much as possible.
