CHECK OUT OUR FREE CHRISTMAS LEARNING VIDEOS!
Here’s our koha to all of our great te reo Māori learners around the world this Kirihimete! Have fun exploring the meaning of Christmas and how people celebrate te Kirihimete around the world and here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our learning videos are available in a bilingual version or te reo Māori only version.
These learning videso are from our Te Puna Reo Māori online learning programme for schools. They use sentence structures from Level 1 and 2 of the New Zealand Curriculum for te reo Māori in kura auraki.
The Christmas Story
(Bilingual)
Join us as we explore the origins and meaning of Christmas through the cultural narrative of the birth of baby Jesus in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago! Retelling oral history and kōrero from the past is something we really enjoy as part of our te reo Māori learning journey with you – whether it’s a pūrākau, a bible parable or following a character through their historical exploits – everyone loves a good story! Cultural and historical narratives are deep and rich with learning, new knowledge, morals, guidance and explanations of the world around us and within us. What pūrākau or narratives are important in your whānau?
The Christmas Story
(Te Reo Māori)
Nau mai, haramai, whakarongo mai ki te kōrero o te whānautanga mai o Ihu Karaiti i Pēterehema mai i ngā tau e rua mano kē! Ko ngā kōrero o neherā, o ngā tīpuna, o ngā atua mā rānei te kai a te rangatira! He tino mea ngā pūrākau, ngā kōrero-ā-waha rānei i roto i te huarahi ako o ā mātou ākooinga mā. He hōhonu te mātauranga kei rō ngā kōrero kia whakamārama ai te taiao, te ao whānui, te waiora, te oranga hoki. He aha ngā tino kōrero kua tuku iho nā i tōu whānau?
Christmas Around the World
(Bilingual)
Join us on a tour of different Christmas traditions and customs from around the world. People from different places enjoy and celebrate the Christmas season in such a variety of ways as whānau come together to sing, eat, give gratitude and just be together. We visit twelve different regions of the world before landing right here in Aotearoa New Zealand to see what whānau get up during the time of Kirihimete in their kāinga and community.
Christmas Around the World
(Te Reo Māori)
Ka tipi haere tātou i roto i te wā o Kirihimete i ētahi whenua kē! He aha ngā tikanga o te wā o te Kirihimete i te ao whānui? Ka whakanuia tēnei wā e ngā iwi kē ki ngā tikanga whakaehu. Ka noho tahi ngā whānau ki te waiata, ki te kai, ki te whakawhetai, ki te whakawhanaunga hoki. Ka kitea ngā rohe o te ao whānaui tekau mā rua. Whai muri i tērā, ka tae mai tātou ki Aotearoa ki te pātai i ngā tikanga kē i roto i ngā whānau mā i Aotearoa. Me pēhea te whakanui Kirihimete i roto i tōu whānau, i tōu hapori hoki?
