Kei te pēhea koe?

Kei te pēhea koe?

Te reo Māori learning is a key part of our programme in Tautoru. We are currently wrapping up our learning unit on "Kei te pēhea koe?" which is "How are you feeling?"

We thought it was very fitting to start the year with regular check ins and practise on saying how we are feeling.

Each week we have a focused, explicit lesson on a particular sentence structure in te reo Māori. This has just been "Kei te pēhea koe?". To support this, we also start each morning with a te reo hotspot to maintain and practise our new learning.

Here is the sentence structure and visuals to support how to ask and answer how we are feeling.

"Kei te pēhea koe?" (How are you feeling?)

"Kei te ____ ahau." (I am feeling __.) e.g. Kei te pai ahau.

"Me koe?" (And you?)

Feelings:

• Pai - good
• Harikoa - great
• Wera - hot
• Makariri - cold
• Pouri - sad
• Hiamoe - tired
• Hiainu - thirsty
• Hiakai - hungry
• Mauiui - sick

Go on, give it a go at home!
