This is Maori Language week and for one of my reading activities, it was to create our pepeha.
This is the main structure for your Pepeha:
Ko _____ tōku Maunga
(_____ is my mourtain)
Ko _____ tōku awa
(The _____ is my river)
Ko _____ tōku iwi
(_____ is my iwi)
No _____ Ahau
(_____ I am from)
Ko _____ tōku Papa
(_____ is my father)
Ko _____ tōku Mama
(_____ is my mother)
Ko _____ tōku ingoa Whānau
(_____ is the name of my family-surname)
Ko _____ Ahau
(I am _____)
Nō reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa
(Therefore greetings, greetings, greetings)
And this is my pepeha.
Kia Ora Amy,
ReplyDeleteI like how you have created a template for other people to do their Pepeha and the English meaning of the Pepeha too. The maori pattern boarder looks effective and adds a little colour.
When I did my Pepeha, I could not find my iwi. How did you find your iwi?
Next time you could add the school name in and maybe your siblings names too. Great job.

Kia Ora Amy, I really like your pepeha,I like how you put your Chinese family names instead of your English it makes it a very unique project to look at. What did you make it on? How long did it take to make? Kai Pai!
ReplyDeleteKia Ora, Jenayde:)
Hello Jenayde,
DeleteThank you so much for commenting on my blog. I made this pepeha on Google Drawing, but I can't really remember how long it took. What is your pepeha?
Amy
Kia Ora Amy, Oh i didn't think you could make pepeha's and stuff like that on a google drawing! that taught me something new! it might of taken a while considering you might of had to research somethings in order to find out the answer to them.
DeleteI have a pepeha and i might think about posting mine but we will see.
What would your English pepeha look like? Maybe you could post that one next!
Kai Pai, Jenayde:)
Hello Jenayde,
DeleteWell we learn something new everyday, right? You should really post your pepeha, I'd love to see it! I did have quite some problems trying to find the mountains and rivers because it is located in China.
Thanks
Amy
Kia Ora Amy, Yes we really do don't we! I might consider it as im not to sure about wanting my full name up. Yeah i would've thought that. What website did you use to find out your mountain and river?
DeleteJenayde:)
Guten Morgen Jenayde,
DeleteYou really don't have to put your full name up, just write your first name! And I just used google to find my mountain and river, and I did it by searching '(city) mountain' or '(city) river' and I would get the answer. But even that was quite difficult to find one.
Amy
Kia Ora Amy, I might consider it, Oh i might have to try that with google! Yes i thought it would be to.
