Whakatauki



LI: to complete the Summer Learning Journey
This task is from the Summer Learning Journey. This years topic for the Summer Learning Journey is Change - makers. The task was to pick one out of seven whakataukis. A Whakatauki is a saying, proverb or metaphor that can help people to explain their feelings or describe specific things. In Te Reo Māori they call it a whakataukī. I picked this one because to me its very inspiring.

  3. Hi Chris! This is a beautiful whakatauki, plus picture. I love the language they use in Whakatauki, and how it really captures you. The one I connected with was "Stand Strong, O moko. The reflection of your parents. The blueprint of your ancestors". If you created your very own whakatauki, what would it be in the English and Maori version? Well done!

  4. Kia ora Chris,

    Me again! :) What have you been up to lately? Have you been able to make it to the beach or to the park this summer? I hope you have had an amazing holiday so far!

    What an inspiring whakataukī! It can have so many meanings and be looked at in so many angles but to me, this whakataukī reminds me of my family. We have reigned from our ancestors and from them we have given birth to generations of people who carry our name, our culture, our traditions and our mana. How can you relate this whakataukī to your life?

    Look forward to hearing from you Chris! Love your mahi :)

  6. Hi Chris,
    I like the whakatauki that you have chosen. I also think that it can be very inspiring. I think that it means that you start of as something small and insignificant and you can become something much larger with more meaning to the world. What did you think this proverb meant?
