  1. New Zealand week.4th Form- April 2013.

  2. CONTENTS:

  3. Aotearoa= New Zealand • Aotearoa (literally, ao = cloud, tea = white, pale, roa = long) is commonly given as the Maori name for New Zealand. This could be translated as “Land of the long white cloud”. Traditional accounts suggest that Hine-te-aparangi, wife of well known pacific navigator/explorer Kupe, after a long ocean going voyage, sighted a particular cloud (aotea) that usually indicates the presence of land, and then they landed on the North Island.

  4. FACT FILE • The islands of New Zealand are the present homeland of the Maori. • New Zealand consists of two islands: the North Island and the South Island. • North Island: hilly with areas of flat terrain. • South Island: larger and more mountainous than North Island. • Capital city: Wellington. • On the Pacific Ocean.

  5. TE REOMAORI LANGUAGE

  6. TE REO WIKI • Nowadays, Maori celebrate Te Reo Week (Maori Language Week), in which New Zealanders both here and overseas are encouraged to recognise and practice the Maori language – Te Reo. • While learning the language is not compulsory, Te Reo is a special part of kiwi identity. Even New Zealanders who have never learnt Te Reo, understand and often use words like kia ora, haka, puku, and whanau. Maori Language Week gives New Zealanders a chance to celebrate something truly unique to their country. While some of them may not be fluent Maori speakers, (or even want to be), the Maori language is still a part of who they are as a nation. Ask any country who has ever played the All Blacks!
