Maraia - Te Arapū Māori, the Māori alphabet

 Te Arapū Māori, the Māori alphabet

Today in TWP4 we did a extra for experts activity.

We learnt about the Māori alphabet (arapū) is made up of eight consonants, five vowels and two digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that combine to form one sound.

 Oropūare and Orokati means Vowels and Consonants.

Something I found out is that when a letter has a hat or a macron you have to drag it.

Today for Maori we refreshed our memories about the Maori alphabet by learning all of the letters again and by a song.

The Maori Alphabet ( Arapu ) is made up of eight consonants​, five vowels and two digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that combine to form one sound.

I really liked doing this activity plus it was really easy to do because we already knew part of it. we had to know the difference between long vowels and short.
