Summer Learning Journey : The Dawn Of A New Era

Day​ ​5:​ ​The​ ​Dawn​ ​of​ ​a​ ​New​ ​Era...

From the 1840s onwards, many European settlers came to live in New Zealand. It was a difficult period in New Zealand’s history. As the settlers began to outnumber the Māori, a great war erupted between the two groups as they fought for access to

land to build homes and establish communities.

Activity​ ​1:​ Translating​ ​Phrases

Unlike the Māori, many of the European settlers didn’t speak

Te Reo Māori. Instead, they spoke English. As you can

imagine, it was very difficult for the two groups to

communicate because they did not have a dictionary or a

translator. These days we are able to use the Internet to

translate words and phrases from one language to another.

a) He​ ​pai​ ​taku​ ​ki​ ​te​ ​takaro​ ​i​ ​te​ ​whutupaoro.

b) He​ ​aha​ ​to​ ​ingoa?

c) Nau​ ​mai​ ​ki​ ​Aotearoa.

d) Ko​ ​_____​ ​toku​ ​ingoa.

e) No​ ​hea​ ​koe?

English Translation
