He aha te wā me hoki a Dylan ki te kāinga?

He aha te wā me haere a Sione?

What is the time at that moment? 

He aha te wā ka tīmata te kapa haka?

Watch: Unit 11 Scene 1: Haami’s running late for kapa haka 

Ask ākonga to listen for the answers to the questions from Unit 11 teacher sheet A, which they will hear in the video scene.

Activity 2 

Learning intention: Ākonga will talk about their daily activities in te reo Māori. 

Ask ākonga to work in pairs, then hand out a copy of Unit 11 teacher sheet A to each ākonga, and ask them to write their partner’s name in the space provided: 

  • Te wātaka (timetable) o (partner’s name). 

Ask them to write:  

  • the days of the week along the top of the wātaka – timetable 
  • the times in hours down the left-hand side.  

Explain that they will take turns asking each other about what they do during the day. Ākonga must ask the questions in te reo Māori, and where possible, answer the question in Māori. The partner draws a simple picture to illustrate that activity in the correct row and column and writes the time in the left-hand column. Show ākonga Unit 11 teacher sheet B examples of questions and answers (the English translations are below).

Activity 3 

Learning intention

Ākonga will learn the words of two waiata, one with actions. 

Before starting this activity, review the three He kōrero whakamārama clips below. 

Review: He kōrero whakamārama: Kapa Haka tikanga 

Review: He kōrero whakamārama: Waiata tikanga

Review: He kōrero whakamārama: The story of “Tutira mai”

Learn the song and actions for Kua Rongo Mai Koe. 

  • Put up the words of Kua Rongo Mai Koe lyrics (Māori version). See Materials that come with this resource to download Kua Rongo Mai Koe lyrics.
  • Go through the words line by line with ākonga to see if they can work out the meaning. (It will help if you think of tūtira as a compound word, consisting of tū and tira).  
  • When you have discussed the meaning, put up Tūtira Mai Ngā IwiEnglish translation and see how well you did. See Materials that come with this resource to download Tūtira Mai Ngā IwiEnglish translation (.pdf) 
  • Learn the song.  
  • Ask ākonga to try making up their own actions for this waiata. 

Activity 4

Watch: He kōrero whakamārama: Use of matua  

Watch this video clip explaining the term matua again.

Watch: He kōrero whakamārama: Use of whāea 

Remind ākonga about the use of whāea.

Watch: He kōrero whakamārama: Use of hoki and haere

Watch: Unit 11 Scene 3: After the practice   

Hana and Haami are talking after the kapa haka practice. Point out Hana and Haami’s use of the word hoki – to return or to go back.

Ask ākonga to choose a waiata to perform to an audience. This could be for another class, for a visitor, or in assembly. They could learn one of the waiata from this resource. 

Ākonga should learn or make up actions for the waiata too. 

Note: It would be beneficial for ākonga to see other kapa haka performances either live on television or online.
