Te Reo Kori

 We have been learning (and having fun) using 'Te Reo Kori' rakau games.  We had to create our own routine in pairs and then in groups of four.  Finally, we got to perform our routine to the rest of the class.  There were lots of smiles..and the odd bump on the head. Tino pai nga tamariki ma!

Te Reo Kori, the language of movement, is about mastery of basic Māori movement and movement patterns, as exemplified in haka, poi, tirakau and other traditional movement forms. It is directly related both to the Māori performing arts and to the Māori concept of health and well-being, hauora (Walker, 1994).
