Homai te...

This term in Room 6 we are learning how to say classroom objects in Māori.

We have learnt HEAPS! But our favourite ones are kutikuti and pukapuka, can you guess what they might be?? 

*Answer is at the bottom of the post... 

This week we learnt how to ask someone to pass you an object, the phrase we learnt was


'Homai te_________' this means 'Pass me the__________'


so if someone asked you 'Homai te pene hinu' they would be asking you to pass the crayon! 

Check out our photos below of us practising using the phrase... 

Homai te pene rakau (Pass me the pencil)

Harrison and Ihaka are working well together

Kadugli and Poppie practising saying the phrase

I wonder what Jorja has asked Maria to pass her??

What did Reneea ask you to pass Marnel?

Nikau doesn't look happy about handing over his pukapuka

I think Cooper might be wanting the kutikuti

Hmmm I wonder what Te Koha and Ashley are waiting on Milla to pass them?? 


























































































































** kutikuti are scissors and pukapuka means book!!
