Maori Alphabet

We learnt the maori alphabet and translated people's names from maori to english.

First names we learnt are Irihapeti, Hakopa, Kararaina, Tarati which are Elizabeth, Jacob, Caroline and Dorothy.

Next we had to choose three names in maori and give them last names like colours of other names. Example: Hariata(Hariott) Kakariki(green), Anahera(Angela) Ma(White) and Hakopa(Jacob) Parauri(brown.)

Lastly we wrote our names in maori, my name is Keira but in maori is Keirā.

I thought this activity was easy because some of the names sound like the maori word for it.
