Term 3 Week 6

Learning Outcomes

Students should be able to:

• recognise basic commands that are used in the classroom
• ask someone to give them something
• ask someone to pass something to someone else

In te reo Māori there are some words that are used after a verb to indicate a direction. 

Hei Mahi

This week you will learn and practise some common classroom phrases that use these directional words

Whakarongo mai           Listen (here to me speaking)
Titiro mai                        Look (here to me speaking)
haere mai                       Come here (towards the person speaking)
kuhu mai                        Come inside
haere atu                       Go away (from the person speaking)
neke atu                         move away

Homai

To ask someone to give something to you we use the phrase ‘Homai te (object)’

Homai te pene              Give (pass) me the pen

To say ‘please’ in te reo Māori we use the word ‘koa’ 
Homai koa te pene      Please give (pass) me the pen

To ask someone to pass something to someone else

To ask someone to give something to you we use the phrase ‘Hoatu te (object) ki a (name)’
