Japanese Class and Māori Culture

Today’s two main tasks were to tach year nine (中2) Japanese and then to join a Māori ceremony of welcome and learn about the unique Māori culture.

The Japanese lesson was great fun. Our students realized just how difficult it is to teach languages to 13 and 14 yr olds! They did a great job and everyone enjoyed the classes! 





The Māori lesson began with the ceremony of the Powhiri, a welcome song and dance especially for us. Then there was a chance for our students to relax and take part in traditional Māori games!
